Hello

Does anyone here get bladder pressure and/or frequent urination with anxiety? Or perhaps related to Perimenopause? 

Any thoughts or replies greatly appreciated 👍 

Thanks in advance x

    Hi

    This is such a relief ( if you pardon the pun)

    I have linked my anxiety to a full bladder. My anxiety wakes me up but I also need the loo after I have emptied my bladder my anxiety symptoms go.

    I once read many years ago in a medical journal that fluid retention can be the cause of PMS symptoms playing havoc with hormones which causes the symptoms of fluctuating moods etc.

    Hi there, I have had the bladder pressure for about 4 years. Ativan is the only thing that helps, and oxytrol it's a over the counter patch for over active bladder. It comes and goes. It's nothing more than bladder spasms. Stress and horm are the cause. Ativan only at night to get sleep and ice pack. I do this till I mysteriously disappears.
