I am 52 and have not had a period for 6 months, last year I went 8 months with no period then had one so i think i am close to menopause, i have the following symptoms and wonder if they are familiar to anyone Health anxiety which is the worst symptom feeling really hot but not sweating feeling random periods of nausea stomach pains in different places back ache in different places happy then next minute sad heart palpitations whooshing noise in my ear intermittently poor sleep waking up about 3am unable to enjoy wine, cheese, coffee because of acid reflux feeling unattractive, old and invisible is so hard putting on a brave face and feeling like this is it, will I ever get my life back, I do not know any other women who feel like this personally, so it feels very lonely
