I'm 39 years old and i have been bleeding heavily with clots since 12-5. I have always had regular periods until Aug. 09. I spotted in Aug. Thought maybe I was pregnant. Sept. bleed for 3 weeks then it seemed to subside but remained very inconsistent. I would bleed heavily then it would stop and always continued spotting. I thought maybe miscarraige. I haven't had a pap for 7 years. No insurance and always put it aside because I felt fine. Anyway, as mentioned in December started bleeding again. This time consistently heavy, clots and tissue passing. Felt tired and concerned of anemia. I went to Planned Parenting for an exam. Not sure if Pap will show anything due to bleeding. NP said felt some lmps but not sure if they are fibroids. My blood pressure is 170/100(3rd try) The nurse practioner says bleeding could be from extreme stress, bad diet and lack of excercise. I'm 208 lbs. 5'3. I have an appt. with my PMD this afternoon due to blood pressure concerns. I'm just looking for direction. Again, I have no insurance, no Gyno. Just seems like info was limited at appt. today. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
