Hello wonderful people. Just reaching out as feel so alone with the run-up to menopause. Loads of symptoms mostly chest pain, breathlessness, and crippling anxiety on top of existing anxiety! Palpitations are my nemesis! I feel I'm literally dying every day and scared to do anything! I'm doing everything possible to alleviate symptoms. Yoga, meditation, gentle walking, a good diet, don't smoke or drink, but I feel I have no quality of life as the chest pain and tiredness ruin it all! Otherwise, I have a wonderful life and I am so lucky, and just want to enjoy it, not be worried about dying every second of every day! Seeing GP next week about HRT. How are others doing with HRT? I know everyone is different. Thanks so much x

    Oh nix I feel you. I had all your symptoms and then some... I tried to get through it at best I could, doing all the things that you are doing. The worst for me was anxiety and heart palps and chest pain.... Just couldnt do it any longer, trying to white knuckle it. I finally went on and Estrogen patch as I had had a hysterectomy 4 years prior....... BEST thing I ever did..... within 2 hours of putting on the patch, it felt like a fog had started to lift ...... I still suffer with some of the symptoms, but no where near as bad.... My current symptom is heart burn.... uugghh . Good luck on your HRT journey and keep us posted ❤❤

    Hang in there - you are not alone. Get on the HRT it is the only option that makes a difference - I tried everything for two years, from herbal to diet, meditation you name it as I didnt want HRT but had to give in, it was all too much and was destroying my life. It is the worst and you are not alone. x
