pain, but new evidence suggests it could also have effects on women years later. Women who

have clinically significant premenstrual syndrome (PMS) may have a raised risk of future high

blood pressure, a new study found. PMS is a syndrome in menstruating women marked by

mood swings, depression and tiredness, among many other symptoms. The study team found

that women who had a lot of the B vitamins thiamine and riboflavin in their diets didn't

appear to have a raised risk of future high blood pressure. In past research, the study

team found that these B vitamins may lower the risk of PMS. In the current study, these

researchers wrote that their findings were "consistent with past studies, and suggest

that improving B vitamin status in women with PMS may both reduce menstrual symptom severity

and lower hypertension risk." Foods high in these B vitamins include green, leafy vegetables,

whole grains, legumes, chicken and dairy products.
