I'm turning 47 in a month and I too am over this crap. I don't know what to do about this either, I wish i knew how long it's going to last. I was wondering if you get this head pressure, not a headache, i get those too, but a dreamy quality like walking around in a haze? Also, every time i complain about some odd new symptoms, my husband's like here we go again...jerk. Lol!

unfortunately men dont understand at all, i dont speak to my other half about it at all now. i chat to my girl friends and get it all out of my system lol
my last period was weird it was like the end of a period rather than starting one
also after every period for about 2 days i get quite low and emotional for no reason at all
im 46 and seem to cope with most things apart from the palpitations i hate them
eloise xx

Hello suzi
This sounds very much like the torture of menopause or at least peri. Yes, I'd go to the doctor and get tested. Sooner you do that, the sooner you can consider options to feel better. My hubby thinks he's been through a war 'it's been hard on all of us aparrently' 😃 xx

Hi suzi
I too think I am starting menopause, achy joints and muscle aches. I can't lift my arms above my head for long, they just ache and feel heavy all the time. I always have some sort of ache or pain and it's getting me down. My partner keeps saying not something else wrong with you, but he doesn't understand how I feel on a daily basis. I also get twitchy muscles which really freak me out, restless leg syndrome, the list goes on and on. So yes I k ow exactly how you feel xxx

Hi Suzi,
48 yrs old here. I too, always feel ill in some way. If it's not headaches, it's digestion. if it's not digestion, it's insomnia. If it's not insomnia, it's relentless anxiety. And I barely recover from one period then it's time for the next.
I just switched gyno dr's, as the one I had been with does not seem to understand this stage of life.
In my experience, my husband knows I don't visit Dr's unless I need to, and me going to these appts at least shows him I am trying my best to get the old me back.
So I would say yes, go to the Dr.
Hugs to you,
Sara
