No worries, your periods will become irregular and you will have night sweats, palpitations to name a few during perimenopause. Annoying as they are, and exhausting as it can be not getting enough sleep and ignoring all the symptoms your body will be going through due to your fluctuating hormones, try not to feed into the anxiety. VERY DIFFICULT for some of us. I was prescribed a BC pill that leveled me out through that time and I never felt better, I transitioned to HRT once I did not get a period after 1 year. That was 9 years ago, I since have been weaning off the HRT very very very slowly to see if I will be ok without them, if not I will remain on the HRT. Quality of life vs Quantity. Talk to your doctor and see what you may have available to help you through this time. No need to suffer. Best of luck to you, this is a great forum, many ladies share their exeriences and suggestions. Everyone is different in how to deal with it, but we all have shared these symptoms. xo

It sounds like you are in peri and they can test for it.
I don't know why they some times fob you off with that it can't be menopause stuff.
This is exactly the reason I thought all my symptoms were something awful going on as I was not expecting to have menopause symptoms until my periods had actually stopped.
Read this site and others and you will find nearly all the weird symptoms you are getting are related to perimenopause.
Mine began at 41 I had my last period at 52.
