Menopause, Heart Risk and Stress
In this episode, cardiologist Dr Adrian Cheong explains how menopause changes women’s cardiovascular risk and why problems like high blood pressure, cholesterol and central obesity often accelerate after estrogen declines. He discusses prevention first: education, regular health checks, lifestyle choices and stress management, before adding medications when needed.
Dr Cheong also shares a striking case of a woman with severe vasomotor symptoms and fainting, the role of mind–heart connections, and the growing wave of menopause‑focused digital tools, wearables and apps.

- Why cardiovascular risk accelerates after menopause.
- Key risk factors: blood pressure, cholesterol, central obesity.
- Prevention: education, checks, lifestyle and modern meds.
