I think I'm loosing my mind
Posted , 15 users are following.
Hi ladies for the past month I've been experiencing terrible anxiety attaxks; Heart racing int he middle of tyhe night waking me from sleep. I've been to the ER more than four time in a month. The cardiologists did stress test and othe rtests say it's anxiety or stress. I have no energy. mMy energy is up and down. My gyn says i'm not in menopause, but certainly I must be in menopause. I feel like I'm going crazy.

I experience the same symptoms and tests don't show I'm in menopause. I think it's peri menopausal hormone fluctuations that tests don't "catch." You're not going crazy and aren't alone! Taking one ibuprofen before bed helps me usually. I don't know why.

You are not alone, I have experienced all that you have and an still experiencing it. I've been to the ER countless times, overnight hospital stays and every test imaginable. I can say it's not as bad as it was in the beginning. It does get better over time. You are not going crazy it's hormones.

Hi Cathy
your ur not loosing your mind I've been there I have been to A&E couple of times with my heart and Anixety...all fine just hormones my love in menopause frightening us
nothing wrong with any of us we get scared that's what causes Anixety, try to keep calm take deep breaths, some people say to get a brown bag and blown into it for help
until hormones calm down nothing else really you can do, Doctors are waste of my time they only think about hotflashes and want you on HRT to keep us quiet
you will be ok once you had checks and they say your fine live with it, we are all in the same boat.

Hi Cathy
I had the bloodtests which you must do within the 1st 5 days of your period otherwise they useless.... women gynae said I'm def peri an it's fluctuating hormones causing chaos in our bodies.... she gave me a natural product which has evening primrose oil, vit B,magnesium, zink in it and a calcium pill which must hav K2 an vit D in it if you want the name send me a private mess...it really helps.... keep a diary and you'll soon see a pattern of when You feel yuggie.... 2 weeks a month I just don't feel myself.... hang in there...this too shall pass xxx God Bless
