Hot Flashes without sweats

Hi ladies, just wondering if anyone has experienced hot flushes/flashes without the sweating .

Along with all the other horrible peri-menopause symptoms i am experiencing at the moment i have had a few episodes which i am not sure how to explain.

It starts off with a funny feeling in my stomach which moves to my chest then all of a sudden my heart starts racing and i have palpitations. They last 5/10 minutes and afterwards i feel shaky and have shivers, although i do not sweat during them.

I have had so many blood tests, heart/chest xrays/worn a heart monitor - everything comes back fine.

It is so scary and at the time i think i am having a heart attack.

Just wondering if any of you ladies have had any similar experiences

I am in peri - went 5 months with no period and for the last 5 months have had periods all over the place. My main other symptoms that are driving me crazy are insomnia, shoulder/neck pain, tingling hands when waking, digestive issues. Its the episodes where my heart starts racing that scares me the most, where i am at the point of wanting to go down to the ER and all of a sudden the start to subside

    Yip. I've had the lot. The neck and shoulder are the longest lasting symptom I've had. Usually the symptoms last anywhere from a couple of days to weeks. They come and go. I'm 2 years in and feel like I just woke up one day and felt old. It's the only way I can describe it

      Hi Lorraine. I couldn't have said it better. I am 48, was fit and healthy until a year ago where i went 5 months without a period and now they are scattered and very irregular. I was fit healthy and active and the last year i feel about 90 years old.

      Everything aches and its a case of waking up each morning to see which symptoms i am going to have today
