Tonight i am feeling flu like symptoms, I have had two nose bleeds from left nostril and i feel anxious tonight.

My OBGYN says its okay to take my estradiol 1mg and my progesterone but i am a little on the worried side about it. 

I heard the estradiol can cause nose bleeds and stomach issues and so can provera 

Isn't there anything else that i can take to lessen these nose bleeds, and my flu like symptoms and my anxieties 

I feel so drained i don't know what to do any more

    I can't be on hormones due to factor five clotting problems I do know that the side effects of taking HRT how long have you been on this if it's something new your body has to adjust to the medication. I would say if the issues continue to see your GYN she can then adjust you accordingly others in this blog have mentioned B complex and magnesium I read on both of these for peri and post menopause and seems to be helpful for energy, muscle and electrolyte support hope this helps.

    I suffer from the retched gastric problems that plague me daily and hope this to will pass with time

      Hi misty 

      Right now i just have it on the side because i still don't know if HRTs are right for me. I have not started taking them yet, because with having diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and hypothyroidism i still feel like HRTs might not be right for me due to those problems 

      I am looking into a vitamin for menopause instead of the HRTs 

      My OBGYN knows that i have high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea, and hypothyroidism and he thinks its okay to take them. But with having high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea, and hypothyroidism i can easily have a stroke or heart attack with out the HRTs and doubling my risk if I take the HRTs i do not want to do that so i have not started the HRTs again they are still on my shelf 

      What do you think

      You are correct about stroke it isn't wise to take hormones because of the Comorbid illness that you have HTN can also cause nose bleeds how is your blood pressure
