Have any of you ladies experienced insomnia and anxiety during perimenopause? Im either waking with sweats then shivering or intense anxiety in my stomach in the middle of the night! Feel like im going mad with the lack of sleep!

    Yes I have that and pain in the chest when you press the stomach problems are from lack of estrogen so I have been told. I have woke up in the middle of the night in panic feeling like I'm crawling out of my skin palpating chest with discomfort it's all part of perimenopause

      Im convinced mine is partof perimenopause too. I have read that a woman can start perimenopause up to 10 years before actually hitting menopause! Jees I hope I havent got another 7 years of this!
