I just don't know how to do any of this no more my whole body feels weird like nothing is functioning properly bp up and down I'm on meds,heart races off and on,I get hot and nauseated then chills,my digestive system is so messed up for awhile now. Bloated, indigestion,gas buildup seems bowels is sluggish. I have dizziness how do we do all this? After my March cycle things just keep getting worse have had labs done I cry everyday scared I'm dying from some horrible disease. I'm so scared of all this it's too many things at once to deal with and it's hard. My face stays flushed like I'm in a boiler burning skin off and on if some of these things would just stop I could deal with all this better. Things started getting worse right before this cycle I just ended and it just doesn't stop. My cycles is all over the map light,heavy, early, late and these symptoms isn't coming and going with cycles seems they staying around for good. I'm really at the end of my rope I'm drowning and nobody is listening my Dr always says anxiety and that is far from the case. My stomach burns when empty I'm so scared can anyone relate to all these things and no break or relief in sight?

      Yes, the frequent urination is frustrating.  I had a cystoscopy done by a urologist and result was normal.  Had no idea that menopause could be this bad! 🌸

    Ugh hot all night heart racing upon wakening dirreah this morning bloated nauseous this is so old already. Does any of you ladies ever feel like your digestive system is so sluggish you don't empty all the way? Do any of you use metamucil with probiotics?

    Hi Pamela...you really are not alone...

    I take a pre biotiic and  a pro biotic for my stomachs symptoms after having numerous tests

    Bimuno and optibac and these have helped immensely.I also now practice mindfulness for my palpitations etc..You can download an app called calm and try it out..Has certainly helped me..If you need to chat I’m around

      Hi ya basically a prebiotic is a food for your good bacteria in the gut

      Hope the probiotic works for you ..My gastroenterologist suggested taking bimuno...Also Activia yoghurts but around 3 daily which may be a little too much ...

    Hi Pamela, I also had a doctor tell me it was anxiety - a gyn my own age!  I’m 47.  It feels terrible to be told that when we are suffering.  I relate to you, especially when you say you are drowning and no one is listening.  I do talk with my mother and sister about it some, but really this forum is my primary source of support, especially as I’m looking for a new gyn.  It is scary and hard and a lot to deal with at once.  Lately, though, I’m trying to understand that this phase will be over one day and I pray for everyone here that those days will come soon and we can have better quality of life.  Keep posting - we’re here for you!  🌸💕

      Thank you Liz I'm actually thinking of finding a new Dr it's just frustrating when she can't ever get past the anxiety diagnosis. And shoves antidepressants at me.

      That is exactly what happened to me, but I refused the antidepressants.  If she can't get past your anxiety to care for you, then you may want to find someone else.  Thinking good thoughts for you!

    I come here when I feel and think that I might be dying of some terrible disease. Yesterday, it was the thought that I might have pancreatic cancer, which of course, cannot be true as I just had CT scan of full torso 8 months ago. Like everyone here, I had all the tests done and except for high cholesterol, I was found to be healthy. I don’t feel healthy though. The dizziness, the ringing in the ears, the abdominal pains, the joints and muscle aches, the chest and/or breasts pains, the hot flushes that actually have improved - all these just make me scared that maybe the doctors missed something. I know very well though, that it’s just all in my brain and it’s my fear of dying (especially that I have a 4 year old and my other daughter has yet to finish college). I know very well this will pass. It may take a while, but it will pass. Hang in there. You’re not alone. I am not alone.
