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

    yes that's normal hence why your DR hasn't referred you. Mines is on the lower right handside a burning feeling. The Dr thought I may have a cyst but couldn't feel the obvious.

    Always approach the DR for reassurance and peace of mind x

    I feel like I'm dying too. I spend my weekdays trying to hold it together at work and with my other commitments and weekends mainly in bed trying to recover and regaining some energy for the week ahead. My physical symptoms are horrendous and scary. I do literally feel like I'm about to die a lot of the time, my worst symptom is that every time I need a bowel movement I feel really really odd with shortness of breath, shaking and just a feeling that something really bad is about to happen. I'm a fighter and try to stay positive but it's not easy when you feel so rotten. Anyone else have the bowel symptoms?

      the bowel symptoms are the ones I mention in my post plus going from needing to poop 5 times a day for weeks to then not pooping in 3-4 days in a row

      they usually rule out bowel cancer as that's what my Dr did and checked up my bum too! I was bleeding but it was hemorrhoids as I was straining so much due to constipation! its so stressful 😫

      hey sasical

      I'm now pooing twice a day after months of constipation every other week constipated for 2-3 days!

      Do you have the urge to poo like you need to go again? My bowels are all over place!

      Hi Sandeep

      Yes, I do. I feel like I need to go a lot and then sometimes I do and sometimes I don't, but the feeling if needing to go is there

      it feels like all the days of constipation then turns to unfinished bowel releasing! its so stressful with my gastric stomach. I've got acid reflux and get abdominal pains due to bloating it's been bloated for the past 3 years!

    You are not alone, digestive issues increase with peri, when estrogen declines everything increases, the beat advice i can give is eat very healthy, essential fatty acids are key!

    i know this is such an old post but im hoping someone will reply

    WOW!! so many replies to this thread! i literally searched perimenopause feel like s**t and this thread came up!

    This is new feeling for me in terms of possible perimenopause. had a few years of neverending periods and finally had an iud put in which took 6monthes for bleeding to stop. Now having all these other weird symptoms, everyday its something, nausea, aches and pains, cysts breast and ovarian, very sore boobs, and lately sort of like internal shivers and hot face and ears that goes on for days. and also strangely not much of an appetite but upset stomach like very full and bloating. I've started taking basically a Tylenol at night to sleep and a probiotic to help with the fullness which it does help (very high quality probiotic) eating pineapple also helps this. I am not 50 yet so im not expecting period to end completely but the iud sheds the lining so you don't have one but still have pms symptoms, although I haven't had those symptoms for a few months. problem is I have a very demanding job and a couple side hustles, really having difficulty get it all done and truly exhausted when the weekend hits, usually spend weekend in jammies sleeping or trying to relax in some way. i miss having energy and get up and go, feel like I feel awful every day, rare now to have a day when I feel good. I've had a ton of testing done and monitoring of cysts and everything comes back as totally healthy. So frustrating. doesn't feel like living, feels like just trying to get thru each day. blah!
