I hear you. I lost weight but trying to work out to me is a chore. I too wish I had my old self back.
I trying to eat more health foods to give myself a boost. It's snowing in my part of the world so less sunlight also give me horrible feelings.

Yes.. I have tried to exercise and thought to myself it's impossible even 10 minutes on the elliptical. But each day I tried to do something and eventually built stamina. Keep trying even if it's a brisk 10 minute walk a couple times a day. Also, I believe what you eat is so much more important than exercise. If I eat alot of eggs and veggies with some fruit/oatmeal and alot of water, then I don't crave the junk as much. It's tough because I don't care to eat that amount of veggies every day BUT if I don't then I start to gain.. Ugh I friend of mine who is 55 does this fasting thing every 3 days. I couldn't do it but she claims she feels great... So just experiment and find something for you.

Hi Marisol
Yes the menopause is very crap as your aware of this, I’m being going through it for 4 years now, and can’t have HRT so got to ride this out..
Dose your breathing feel ok when your sitting down? And do you notice your heart beating when you walk up staires, or is it just wen you doing a lot of excercise??? Let me know will you, big hug to you 🤗x

hi Dawn you're so right about that it's crappy feeling like this all the time I've been going through this living hell for 4 years myself it's like a never-ending thing when it's not one thing it's the other I do feel my heartbeat when I'm doing exercise not really when I'm going up the stairs and when I'm sitting down my breathing is fine now but a few months ago I had a terrible shortness of breath which I ended up in the emergency room they did every test known to man and thank God everything came back okay I just think it's one of those symptoms of menopause because I have gotten a lot of symptoms can't even start naming them but now it's more of being tired like if I want to exercise I could do it like maybe for 5 minutes and then I'm worn out I hope we get through this I wish you feel better soon enough we'll be off this crazy roller coaster take care hugs!!!!

Hi Marisol
Glad Iv been checked out and all ok... I get out of breath just walking up the staires and can feel my heart thumping, if I just sit down for the rest of my life I’d be fine😂...
I was at the hospital wensday and been told that I’m getting out of breath due to my heart working to fast, this is y I ask you, and they have said they have to slow it down as working to hard, and this as all come from two years ago I use to be at the gym 6 days a week then my breathing went bad, and was told I’m lucky to be alive as got blood clots ( PE ) on my lungs...
I always worry when some one says they out of breath, like you did, as my doc missed the blood clots for 6 mth, and just said it was all on my head, with the breathing... but we all know our own body’s and how they work... a friend I new died in her husband arms a few month ago, she couldn’t breath, and was found to have died from the blood clots to her lungs, only 42 ??....
So do listen to your body any way, my menopause as nothing to do with my breathing, as I was fine 2years ago....
I do hope your breathing gets better in time, but please, please if you or any one out there are not sure, as your breathing does not get better even after you, tried excercise, diets, and so on, do get checked out, only takes a blood test, id hate to think of any one eles out there going through what I did ....
Please keep in touch on here and let’s us know of your progress, I’m sure ones this crap menopause passes we will feel sum what better lol.. big hug 🤗x

So sorry to hear about your friend Dawn and your situation too it is very hard going through all of this I've had so many symptoms that I can't even count them I feel much better than before I couldn't even walk get up out of bed I would be so dizzy I would be nauseous I would have joint pains headaches I would get brain fog to the point that I ran a red light twice my husband didn't want me even to drive anymore I would forget things and then just stand there and feel like okay I can't think what's going on with my brain but thank God it hasn't been that bad lately it's just me getting tired and stomach issues I have to watch what I eat I get so bloated I also notice that I would get heart palpitations but it would be a week before my period or after I have a doctor's appointment soon so I will be talking to him about that let's see what he says because I really don't think that the doctors even know what we go through it's just crazy how they don't have any real solution to menopause and what goes on with us I really don't like drinking anything for it anyways I just rather ride it out and pray to God that this is over soon I really hope you feel better I will keep in touch and I will take your advice if I see that my situation gets worse thank you and God bless!!!

If you're used to working out and want to go all out as if you're normal, you can't. You need to take it slow, I'd get off the treadmill dizzy, I could barely walk. So I decided to take it much slower, like just walking for about 5-6 minutes at 1.8 speed, then do a sprint for exactly 15 seconds, then as I built up stamina over months I would go for 20 seconds then 30, that was my max. It's good if you have a friend go with you. Don't do aerobics, that's too much if you can do Zumba do it but at a slow pace. I would 1 song n skip the next and no jumping. Hope this helps.
