Hi its Debi the long suffering! Just update my helpful fellow sufferers.still waiting heart monitor test result have basically 9 days from hell for me, just unimaginable anxiety from shaking ,sweats,chgest pain and well I've lost half a stone weight. My poor hubbi keeps telling me I'm OK no medical disease but terrible panic and all will be OK. I'm so low I couldn't get out of bed for 3 days in terror and scared of all. Prayers for all of us thru hard times. Thanks all x

I really sympathise with you. I have also had a really bad last five days with terrible palpitations that I thought were gone forever (Been 5 months since I had them, and back then I was fit to burst with anxiety, and had all tests done and monitor and all ok).
But they came back and having avoided doctor for some time, I just had to go because no amount of reassurance from husband was helping. And guess what, all is ok. It seems when it gets this bad the only reassurance that satisfies, is from a doctor. Wish I had married one!
Once you get your monitor results, you will settle but so far for me, it is always the same result. Fluctuating hormones! You'd be sick of it! Take care.

Siunds like your in peri stage, the anxiety is very bad first few years, it will get better, its more than likely your test will be normal, but it still needed checking just in case, try not to worry too much as im sure it will settle, it has in me, eventhough i know everyones body is different, it has to get better,your hormones are just fluctuating so much in the begining, but it will settle, try doing some deep breathing exercises, to some relaxing music when itnext comes on, or, try yoga, a very gentle relaxing exercise regime to do, to relax you must keep your mind clear for at least 15 mins, each day, and as soon as you start to feel anxious return to your breathing keeping your mind clear at the same time, deep breath in, slow breath out, try life style changes, if it gets too bad, there is always HRT, but know it does get better. good luck debi.

Mine were but it shocked me that hormones (or lack of them) could do all that to me.

Thats right, one of my friends, went through the menopause aged 35, didnt know until her periods stopped, it explained a lot to her afterwards, as to why she was storming out of the house with anxiety attacks, instead of taking out on her poor husband, incase he thought she had gone nuts, she never even went to the drs, because it didnt enter her head that she was on the menopause aged 35, then my next friend, was only on it for 3 years, became post, and got next to no symptoms during and after, which is great for them.......... But what gets me is when, some women have said, and these two friends didnt, but i have had one that has said this to me, well its a natural thing for the body to go through, so, we should embrace it, this was after telling me, she had next to no symptoms during or after it, well we can all say that, then couldnt we, depends on how bad your fluctuations are, and what it does to the individuals body, what a boring world we would live in, if, everyone was the same, and if i was one of those women, i sure would sympathise with ones who are going through it, and be thankful, and, think myself lucky if i did go through it symptom free, oh i wish..............thats what gets my goat

My mum said "what? Still?
there must be something else wrong with her"
I wish I had been like that too, I was always so happy and healthy before.

So I googled stuff and found this forum. This forum was my only saving grace. I did my own research and worked some things out on my own. Started exercising more, eating more so gained most of my weight back. Symptoms have lessened or become more controlled. Some things still bogg me down like annoying night sweats, some dizziness, headache, forgetfulness and joint pain
and trouble sleeping sometimes. Anxiety has eased up too. I think my vitamins b12 and D help with that. Tying to just get through it without taking it day by day.

Only after the menopause did I find this and other site's and realise this is exactly what all my problems were about.
I had even been told I was in peri menopause, "but it's nothing to worry about, all it means is you still have some eggs but not enough estrogen to push the remainder out"
Surely they must know it affects some women like this?

Specialist would definately know, but doubtful that a gp would, as they just generalise more, their not specialists as such in any one field, but they have ears, and experience, but i think i am being too kind their to be honest.

I'm really surprised that we don't have more meno clinics, they would save the NHS a small fortune.
