hi. So I had this episode I call a "rage" in January where for about week and half I had severe anxiety. Severe flushing. Hives. Dizzy felt in fog. Tremors. Hot sweats. Freezing during day. Tingling hands and feet and nose and lips. All sorts of weird symptoms. High blood pressure. Palpitations. High heart rate. They worked me up for all sorts of things. All negative. In these past few months starting January my period was late and short for January and February and I have not gotten one since February 28. My hormone levels say peri menopause. On and off I've had some symptoms mostly anxious and palpitations and dizzy. Nothing like I had during that rage. I know I hear complaints if symptoms but can a rage like that happen? Thanks. I'm really feeling a lot better now more like myself I'm sure it's gonna wax and wane. My biggest complaint is things down below do not feel the same! I've told my OB but she gave me nothing
Hi Lisa. All sounds quite normal to me. Peri menopause for me was hell with my moods. I had anger, frustration, anxiety, depression and yes I had feelings of rage too. I had some days at work where I'd be covered in goose bumps all day freezing then hot as hell in bed at night. I'd get this bazaar swooshing in one side of my head and it would happen when my moods were low. Some of the things I experienced with my moods were so strange I questioned my sanity. As for things down below I don't know what's going on with you but my sex drive was through the roof and iv never been like that in my life.
I'm on BHRT now and as my hormones balance out I'm definitely feeling better. So don't worry, its all very normal what you're experiencing. I had no idea what Peri menopause was capable of either.
Hi Lisa, make sure you take a good vitamin b complex and magnesium too, these can really help with anxiety. Hang on in there, after 4 years I can tell you it does eventually get better. Down below, I find a simple good moisturiser helps - E45 or even Germolene if sore 'afterwards'. You will probably, however, need a hormone cream eventually.
