Hello ladies
Ive been trying to figure out this chronic wind i get throughout the night both in my stomach and upper bowel and its more agressive at night ..not every night and ive lots of belshing throughout the day and more agressive at other times.
im having a test for the return of a stomach bacteria i had before but i am still trying to figure if this is hormonal and at night stronger and wondering if these episodes are mimicking hot flashes. i dont get sweats but i get temp rise.
just putting it out there. This could also be an irritable bowel as another Gp said but the I can feel awful throughout the night and better once im up…your mind does all over the place so praying there is nothing more synister and just another horrible symptom of the menopause…
thx in advance.

HI Carol - Can you describe your sensation a bit more…i have been recently experiencing what feels like a "rubber tube "of Pressure around the top of my stomach underneath my sagging breasts. i also get this “gas pocket” either in my stomach or lower intestine - i have explosive gas & i have eaten nothing that would explain the extra gas. This week every bad menopause symptom i have had has seemed to rear its ugly head. i am starting to think i either have digestive, metabolic, auto immune or adrenal fatigue…i am so over all of this -
I have been getting this pain on my left side of abdomen under my ribs although I get it at random times of the day. I do notice it at night sometimes when I lie on my right side and I also woke up twice in the past 4 months with extreme abdominal pain which seemed to be somewhat relieved after passing gas. I went to Dr. about it but she dismissed it as just gastrointestinal and wasn’t concerned about it. I am definitely perimenopausal and wonder if this is a symptom?

I am only seeing this post now and you have described my feeling with gas exactly. Its like it is stuck in a pipe and difficult to get out and is in my upper stomach beneath my breast.
Last night it was awful and I ate something that was laced with oil and butter and I paid the price. I been neasea all day but you know what relieves it for me. Fizzy diet coke as it helps bring up the gas and settle my tummy!
Sorry only replying now to your msg and hope you are feeling better. This whole thing sucks!
