I am 52 and have not had a period for 6 months, last year I went 8 months with no period then had one so i think i am close to menopause, i have the following symptoms and wonder if they are familiar to anyone

Health anxiety which is the worst symptom

feeling really hot but not sweating

feeling random periods of nausea

stomach pains in different places

back ache in different places

happy then next minute sad

heart palpitations

whooshing noise in my ear intermittently

poor sleep waking up about 3am

unable to enjoy wine, cheese, coffee because of acid reflux

feeling unattractive, old and invisible

is so hard putting on a brave face and feeling like this is it, will I ever get my life back, I do not know any other women who feel like this personally, so it feels very lonely
