I was feeling great last week and now feel terrible. Anxiety, low mood, no energy. I don't get periods cos of mirena coil. However this is like bad pmt. I am 51.
Hi ,Yes anxiety not good will make you feel like this. Are you going thru Menopause ?
Sorry. I'm nearly 50, not 51. Don't know what happened there. Ive been told by gp going through it because of symptoms but didn't have blood test. Because I don't get periods because of coil hard to know what's happening. I'm on evorel patches anyway....
Have you been on them long? I ha to have my HRT increase to a higher dosage as my symptoms became a lot like yours .. Anxiety & sweats awful! Do you feel anxious when you wake in the morning?
Yes.. This is me! I too felt great the last couple weeks. Running on treadmill, focusing on my diet, getting 'things' down around the house and important errands. I felt good about how life is. But this week I'm exhausted and no energy. So am I wearing myself out with simple things.. IDK..
Hi Alison, I'm not a fan of the Mirena coil as had bad effects from it. I have had hrt in pill form but due to regular bouts of diahorrea dr changed me to patches and is looking into BHRT for me instead. I still get extreme anxiety but my dr put me on low but regular dose of diazepam and it helps alot! If you prefer the natural route valerian is good for the anxiety and for sleep. A good high strength menopause vitamin supplement is essential. Vit D, B complex, and high strength evening primrose oil for breast tenderness. Hope this info helps. XXX
Thats hormones, I totally understand. I had to leave work the otherday because of my anxiety. I never use to have them. Seems like my minds always going. One minute I just feel anxious. Have you thought about changing birth control?
HI alison, me too Anxiety doing my head in too I can't stay quiet with out thinking things have no periods either dry mouth I can't stand the heart thumping I can't stand one minute it's ok the next I could feel it I been through this so long and I had a break and back it came again I don't mix with people and that worries me a lot too
Hi deedee, yes my mind always going too, I just can't relax and my mouth is so dry too, the heart pounds when ever it likes..if you get uptight it gets worst..I walk on the roads with no sleep sometimes and I think it makes you feel more anxious I have been through this from 49 I'm now 56 with no periods people say be calm how could you
Hi. I upped the dose to 75 a few months ago. Because I have had anxiety in the past the doctors put everything down to that and don't seem to take menopause symptoms seriously
Hi Kelly. Yep, last week I was baking, cleaning, decorating. This week struggling to get out of bed. Was worried I was bipolar!
Hi. they should take it seriously as if you had anxiety in the past then menopause will increase your anxiety I would think ? How you feeling now?
