Cold flashes

Posted , 5 users are following.

Ok, I know this is weird. Instead of hot flashes, I have been getting cold flashes. It comes on like a wave. The top of my things and the back of my upper arms are mostly effected. I get an uneasy slightly nervous feeling, then my eyes go a bit wonky. Next, I notice my hands are cold. Then, the tingly cold feeling. My period ended yesterday, if that matters. Anyone? In general, I am not a cold person.

    I get this too and I feel really sick with it too until it passes. I get what you say about the nervous feeling , I wasn't sure if I was having a panic attack.

    I really dread it happening again.

      Honestly, I can't tell anymore what is perimenopause and what is anxiety. Maybe it's all anxiety and that is why all the middle-aged women I know are thriving at this age and I am a mess.

      I well and truly join you in being a mess , everyday it's something new to add to the long line of symptoms.

      I'm 48 and really struggling with it all.
