Past 2 days I was feeling good and bam it hit me. It all starts with a twinge or a pain around the back or chest area and then the dreaded thoughts of am I having a heart attack come in full force. That's all I think about then I get worked up here comes the anxiety and the weepy. I hate that the symptoms of anxiety, menopause and heart attack are almost all the same how can you be sure what's going on URGH!!! I've been to ER, Cardiologist had 2 echo,s done both were fine everything is fine but my head thinks differently. Hate feeling like this 😕
Know that feeling too well an it hits when you least expect it..... good to know we not alone so many suffering the same symptoms. ...GP has put me on Cilift 20mg to help wth meno anxiety it's my second week side effects nt to nice but everyone says I'll feel much better in 3-4 weeks so sticking it out..... good luck
Me to but they told me am not menopausal just hormone imbalance...😢
I am in peri menopause I'm 49 an it's then that our hormonal imbalance causes all these horrible symptoms..... im seeing a lady gynae in October I want a quality life thsee symptoms just suck..... strongs x
Are you paying privately to see the gynecologist? Xxx
No my medical aid pays..... I go yearly for a check up but have changed to a lady doc nw....
I totaling understand where you are coming from, I wish that it would all go away. It seems like when I started menopause I got high blood pressure, joint pain sparatic throughout body, and anxiety attacks. Now dealing with joint swelling and pain in hands, hips get stiff,and ankles hurt at times. Doctor said I tested positive for Rhuematoid Arthritis factors. This seems like alot when you hit menopause, it messes up your whole system. Is there anyone else going through this and what can I do to relieve some of the swelling and pain until I see the rheumatologist. I perfer natural remedies over medication. Medicines seem to provoke other problems. My advice to you is hang in there, aside what I am going through I still try to stay on the positive outlook of life.
correction totally not totaling.
I guess there are menopause doctors, not Gynecologist that specifically deal with this. I will agree with you hot flashes are one thing but all these other ailments just add trifold to everything making quality of life hard to relax.
I agree, I have a huge amount of different symptoms that all came on suddenly in January. I'm still trying to figure out my medical ones from the menopause ones. Sick daily. Hate this crap!
It sucks doesn't it. I've been the same since last December. My friends don't seem to be like it 😔
I've been on Wellbutrin for along time now it helped a lot but this last year I have a lot of anxiety. I haven't had hot flashes yet but I'm sure I will. Most of my symptoms are the anxiety, dizziness, irritability, weepy and just plain feel lousy. I hope your Cilift works for you.
Hi Michelle i have those symtoms but they told me an no peri or pre menopause i just do not knw whats happening to me an no dr is telling me what is wrong. I hav been tru so many tests an still no relief it is jus worse than b4..
Same story with me! Been thru all that and more! It's terrible and scary! I felt that same way today ! 🙁
That's hectic an very fustrating.... yet the woman's tea I attended Sat one of PE top gynae said it's not just menopause it's peri menopause when hormones fluctuate so bad an make you have all these nasty symptoms that they should givE us hrt to help through those years..... I really just want a quality life not waking with a new symptom every 2nd morning......trusting the Cilift relieves the anxiety seeing gynae only in October.....
I could have written this post. I hope you are feeling better. I have a stress test set up for this coming week. PCP is thinking perimenapause. WTH! You are right, I hate the symptoms too. It is really scary. If it is the start why can't we all just sail right through it like many women! Feel better.
Feeling better today. But some days are better than others 😊 I wish i could sail right through it but I am planning for a bumpy ride. I will take my good days and make those days great and the bad just get through them. My Dr talked to me about BCP but I don't know if I want to take them. But thinking I should at least try. I've had a stress test as well hope things go well. Take care!! Us women gotta stick together 😀
I've asked all my friends, older and younger, and not one has gone through any of this, including my older sister, she only got the migraines and rage. Not too fair!
Some days are better than others all I know is it sucks 😕
magnesium
and if you can not get the panic attack undr control you may be perscribed a small amount of tanqulizer
But try magnesium first
