    I have lots of problems with my throat :-(  it's been going on for a year ... so fed up ... i've also developed an Adam's Apple which all docs are baffled by - loads of test done over this time - throat camera done - normal - ct scan on neck - normal ... maybe getting another throat camera done - waiting on decision on that.  I am 50 and live in Scotland.  not one dos has mentioned that it could be perimenopause ... all my hormone tests were within range.  had thyroid tests done too ... really at end of tether ... should be on holiday in Portugal as I type but didnt go cause so down with this neck, throat puzzle :-(

    I've had this for about a month when my night sweats and flushes started. Never thought it could be peri. And a tight chest. Thought it was humidity. Or not sleeping properly.

    Yes I've had this since night sweats and flushes started a month ago, and tight chest. Thought it was humidity. Never linked it to peri.

    We are in allergy season so a stuffy nose would indicate that pollen is the culprit of that stuffiness.

    As for the throat thing, yes, it's a part of peri, but it will go away just like everything else that shows up. Hopefully, it won't last too long.
