Jittery Feeling/ Internal Shaking

Posted , 15 users are following.

Hello Ladies,

Does anyone ever feel jittery during the day and especially when they wake up during the night with Racing HeartBeat? I have also been waking up everynight with nightmares and can't get back to sleep. My sleep doesn't feel restful either. Please let me know if this is normal for Perimenopause/Menopause. Thank you!

    YES!! I'm 51 and in the past few months have woken to rapid heartbeat that feels like my hearts going t9 leap out of my chest. I am jittery during this time and can usually fall back asleep .....however when I fall back asleep I have the mist bizzar real like dreams that leave me feeling shaken and tired when I wake up. I take no meds and have no other symptoms. I went to my Dr who said anxiety and stress.....but I'm completely happy!!?? I disagree with the Dr and feel this is some type or introduction into menopause. i hope this helps you. feel better. hugs

    This post is PERFECT timing for me. I've been feeling jittery, nervous, just out of sorts for a few days now. I'm currently on my period and this month has me feeling very ill... It's unbelievable that hormones is causing me to feel this way..

    I'm 45 years old and is wondering how much longer my symptoms will last 😌

    I have this too. It's the worst upon wakening and through the day. Just awful. Just got done with an MRI of the brain and all normal! Thank God. Tired of feeling so bad.
