my mom is in postmenopausal period... we used to visit emergency after a each month we face these symptoms.

in mumma's case this usually starts with feeling cold thn we nausea before leaving home with these symptoms each tym we do bp monitoring. everytime we find that bp shooks up gently to levels like 170/90 from 100/60 .

then we need to visit hospital in emergency...

but fortunately all heart test angiography echo are normal. even angio of kidneys are also normal.

but still each month we face such horrible symptons.

now a days along with these chest pain with left arm numbness are added too.

in normal days hot flushes are normal, along with palpitations.

mumma is on telmistrin, diuritics, beta blocker, along with blood thinners nd some supplements too.

even intaking these we r unable to get rid of symptoms.

how long we need to face such as it frightens me everytym we need to visit emergency to settle these.

i m too upset nd worried about my mumma if somehow these symptoms get settled down kindly mention your fruitful suggestions regarding the same.

thanks

    Hope your mom feels better soon. I also have the chest pain and it is very scary. I have had my heart checked out and like your mom, the tests came back normal. I take comfort in that, but when you have the pain with no explanation, it is very scary. My doctor has told me in my situation, my pain could be due to high cortisol which is our stress hormone. For me this makes sense as I am under huge amounts of stress. As we all know, constantly worrying about our health is also very stressful. Its a hard pattern to get out of. For me, writing down my symptoms each month based on the day of my cycle has helped. I can look back each month and see what is "normal" for me based on the day of my cycle. It doesn't take away the symptoms but brings a bit of comfort. Hope your mom feels better soon and she is lucky to have you supporting her!
