Freezing then sweating...again HELP!
Posted , 7 users are following.
This may sound silly...to me it serious. I have no reference for Perimenopause as I lost my Mom a few years ago and no direct blood sisters. I have literally been freezing like Painfully freezing.. then massively sweating every evening and night for over a week. Not sure if its Peri related or my Anti Anxiety meds causing it. If it is Peri... Should i expect to be frozen then sweaty everynight for the next 4-6 years? Or does it go away and come back like a cycle? I had a partial hystorectomy 13 years ago so I have no period to use as a guideline either..literally feels like i have a flu ! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Xx

Perimenopause lasts about a year before actual menopause is in.
Some women are peri for 2 years. If I were in your situation without periods to guide you, I would see a physician for an FSH test to see where your hormones are at. Take care! 💕

The worst thing is at night, because when I go bed I still quite flushed and have a fan on to cool me down, intending to turn it off, or at least turn it in another direction. Then about half way through the night I start getting really cold and trying to pull the duvet closer around me, but still feel cold. Then I am still mostly asleep, so I dont get up and turn the fan off. Then I'm struggling with feeling cold which disturbs my sleep until morning. This happens every night now. I dont have poor circulation, but I am quite anemic. Hoping when I've been on iron tablets for a while I'll feel better. I did try HRT, but found that I was breaking out all over with acne and putting on weight, so stopped it. I take all the recommended vitamins. I was in perimenopause, but think I might be entering the menopause proper now. Not really sure what else to do about this particular sleeping problem.

I can't remember the last time I had 8 hours unbroken sleep - and I do so miss it.

you could be in menopause due the the hystorectomy and not having a period for a while.
If you are cold the sweating i would have you thyroid checked out, have your iron checked out, have you vitamin d checked out, have your vitamin b checked out and your estrogen levels and your progesterone levels checked out
These could be causing you to feel cold the sweat and feel hot or it could be your blood pressure being up because at times when my heart rate and blood pressure are up i am hot and not feeling good and tired but when its normal i feel good but there are times i do get hot and then cold due to my thyroid and my hormone like at night i need the room nice and cool before i go to sleep because i can not sleep in a hot room
but have those things checked out because they could be low
