Notes on Breathing

hi Karen
yes, i developed all kind of breathing issues. ended up being diagnosed with asthma (severe asthma).... chest infection after chest infection.... and now, miraculously, it all is so much better and the asthma and breathing issues seem to have disappeared.
These PERI and MENO symptoms really are something else...
wishing you all the best

hello!
i would say roughly five years but it has greatly improved this last year. No shortness of breath or chest pain for about a year now but i did have a bad cough for months and months that then turned into pneumonia. but even during pneumonia i had no asthma like symptoms. the symptoms i've experienced have been incredible. just amazing! thankfully though i think i might be slowly coming out the other end . I think i must have had every symptom going: allergies, breathing issues, anxiety, sleeplessness, hairloss, bladder infections, headaches, general dryness of almost everything, dizziness , weight gain etc etc Most have lessened or gone away completely so i hope this one will too. wishing you all the very best!

yes, the breathing issues and allergy stuff has been extremely scary. often felt like i might die. What a journey... and to think that all i had ever heard of concerning menopause were hot flushes and weight gain. those two have been the easiest symptoms to handle of them all 😉 Some days i wish i had known about how it could be and others, i am glad i didn't.
take care and hope everything improves quickly...

My allergies are worse, prior to peri I didn't have much of an issue . My nose, head and chest are more prone to congestion. After I get sick it's harder to get over it. It just wants to hang around alot longer especially in my chest . Good luck to you

Going on 4 years of menopause has been a really big change in my life and anyone one else that has a chance of going through it welcome to the roller coaster ride. Yes I have dealt with the breathing and chest problems at the beginning of my peri menopause and than hitting that full blown menopause stage. it felt like I was dying. I thought I was having heart problems. High anxiety attacks. It is not very fun at all, I had no one to really talk too about it, so I went to the hospital emergency room. They did EKGs to rule out heart attack. Menopause turns your whole life upside down. I have learned to deal with a lot of problems that accompany this but wow what a whirlwind. I am just really thankful though that I did not get the drastic mood swings with it.
