Suggest Treatment For Hot Flashes And BP

Hi I went on HRT 32 years ago when I had a Hysterectomy. Recent Medicare refuse to pay co-pay- they decided that the med caused more damage than good for Seniors. My hot flashes are horrible- BP and pulse goes up and I feel a pounding in my head. Get very weak and have a headache after. I just sent a request to pharmacy to refill my Rx. Is there anything I can do to get Medicare to again to pay my co-pay which is $45. Do you have any suggestions to help me deal with the hot flashes and BP/ heart issues ? Thank you for your time.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your all symptoms are mostly due to hormonal imbalance.
Hormonal imbalance like low estrogen, progesterone causes psychological disturbances like stress, anxiety, mood swings etc. And all these cause similar kind of heart and blood pressure issues.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is best treatment for this.
But since you are having difficulty in getting HRT, better to consult psychiatrist and get done prescription for anxiolytic drugs.
These drugs will also ease your symptoms.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
