Hello.
You are not alone, so don't think you are going crazy.
There are SO many strange symptoms in perimenopause/ menopause.
I have had the hypochondria too, or health anxiety. I have had the terrible anxiety, panic attacks, crying for no reason (for hours), feeling detached from my life, insomnia, hot and cold flashes, night sweats, anger, agitation, headaches, confusion, foggy headed, ringing and thumping and hearing loss in my right ear, feeling of something stuck in my throat, throat clearing, acne, weight gain, constipation, urinary problems,developing bad body odor, etc... The worst symptoms have been the anxiety and feelings of detachment from myself, my husband, my loved ones, my cat, my home and my life.
I am having acupuncture twice a week and taking an herbal supplement for adrenal support. I have found relief from these symptoms. Not total relief but almost. The anxiety and crying are SO much better.
Acupuncture and herbs take a little longer than Western medicine so if you try it give it a few treatments. It took 3 for me to feel a big difference.
I try to avoid sugar of all kinds, bread, pasta. Potatoes, alcohol, caffeine, any foods I am allergic too (soy). Eat a clean diet. Lots of vegies, lean meats, some fruit, raw almonds.
I hope this helps. Take care.
