how can peri make me feel this sick

it started jan 2016 but past 3 months have beem horrible. i wake up at 5am feeling so sick. i am beyond tired everyday all day ( prob cause i dont sleep much ) and my body doesnt feel good. i feel like i am slowly dying and even tho all my tests come back normal ( and i havr had a lot ) that they are missing something thats gonna kill me. my constant upset stomach/trapped air burping/ feeling unsteady when i walk is the worst one, amxiety, feel like i have ongoing flu.

please ease my mind and tell me im not alone. this seriously needs to stop. its putting me into depression

    Hello, new here. I'll be 49 in May. I feel I can relate to everyone here as well. I've had every single heart test, all normal. I feel there is something wrong with me all the time. My body aches, I feel I hurt everywhere. I wake up sick. I've read a lot of the comments looking for anyone that is constantly dizzy, and I haven't come across anyone else. Can anyone else relate to this one? I'm so scared I am dying. I am going to be a grandma for the first time in June and I'm terrified I won't see my grandson. I google everything. I'm constantly nervous. When I start dozing off at night, I wake up seconds later with worry, and feel sick and anxious. My periods will be missed for 50+ days, then I'll bleed for like 3 days. Or, I'll get 2 periods in one month. Since I was young, my periods were every 28 days. Now, they're all messed up. Help!

      Hi JeepGirl,

      I am just entering the dizzy phase... it's new (and scary) for me.

      How are you feeling these days?

    I am so pleased I have found this site. I have been going through menopause for what feels like forever.

    I think for me it has been made worse by stressful situations in my personal life and I think that exasperated all the symptons . I had ask of the 34 symptons of menopause and really thought I was dying- had every test going and just tried to accept it. I hadn’t had a bleed for nearly a year and was feeling a little better then last October started to feel ill again and then bled in November and since then feel awful again my stomach is awful, heart racing , aching , not sleeping and exhausted - this is truly awful and it is all just so so scary - nobody tells you it is going to be this bad.

    I am right there with you. This sucks. My doctor thinks I'm a whack job. We have to get thru this.

    Hi Kim, no you are not alone , I feel like i am going crazy . I have been to many specialists everything came back negative . Feeling unsteady when I walk is constant , always watching where I walk, always looking down to ensure I dont slip. I miss corners when I walk through doorways, I bump into chairs etc. I thought I was having a stroke. Waking up with nightmares or anxiety is terrible. I am looking into HRT I hope my Dr will do it

    hey girl, you are deff not alone im 26 and i have been going through pretty much everything you just said. im so tired and my body will not let me get more than 4/5/6 hours of sleep and my back always hurts my upper back and shoulders it always feels like their is knots in there all the time and they just hurt so bad. along with neck pain and this weird pressure feeling in my head all the time and dizziness/unsteadiness when walking and laying down! heart racing chest burning always burping and mostly after i eat is when my heart races and everything! my ears also always feel full and itch and my eyes always feel puffy it kinda always feels like i have a pulled muscle in my chest. i just told my sister today i always feel like im slowly dying! ive had so many test ran on me i know my thyroid was wayyyy out of whack and my cholesterol was out of whack but im just tired of feeling this way every single day! like non stop this is going on and it always takes me a while to go to sleep but i start having anxiety when im in the bed and it keeps me up half the night! and when i finally fall asleep im very uncomfortable and wake up just a few hours later! i just wish it would all go away and i could feel like my normal self. i dint even feel normal anymore! 😦

    me too I'm exhausted. My stomach is always hurting and bloated. I feel like the Dr has missed something all clear with an endoscopy just showing mild gastritis no coleic or crohns disease.

    Now my lower right handside of stomach hurts. Dr examined me and nothing concerned her. 😟

    I want to be normal I'm in my 3rd year it all changed at 40.

      hey! so lovely to hear from you. I went to the DRs last week she's amazing and examined me all my organs and said due to my gastric history it's hurting because of your acid. Today I had a shower and as I was getting out I must of pulled a muscle in my back upper and its been killing me all day! I also keep breaking out in spots! that's getting me down!

      Go and see the DR as I know you get anxious. Are you taking any antiacids for your stomach? Aloe vera juice is helping me

      what's 5tp? bless you I have a hot water bottle every night as I'm so cold!

      yes keep up with probiotics they take some time to work at least 3 months.

      have you had an endoscopy?

      no never had one, 5htp is a natural relaxant & helps sleep. i can feel my stomach pain like left side under ribs & like my heart beating there if that makes sense?! i dont know whats making me more anxious the back, stomach or exhaustion x

      ok in a way that's good as all your organs are mostly on the right handside.

      Does your stomach feel hard and knotted brick feeling?
