Need some encouragement ladies, its a rough one today
Posted , 12 users are following.
Hi Ladies, its been a bit since I posted or have been on. Since my surgery and ovary removal, I have been so busy with life and things have been a bit better since starting bioidentical estradiol. But oh my goodness, I am a week out from my period and the horrible chest pain came back with a vengence, the shortness of breath and feeling like I was going to die. That fear is the worst. I am a bit blah today and have a double shift to get thru at work today and tomorrow. I need some encouragment to help me not freak out. I have been to the ER so many times and have had every test under the sun on my heart. Im told that I just have anxiety, and it is not my heart. I know its hormones and when they fluctuate, I am a hot mess. I take Serrapeptase to help with the chest pain and it has helped some, but this month, those pains are just brutal. I had a rough night with difficulty sleeping, heart pounding, shortness of breath and those pains. Do any of you ladies get the chest pains, heart racing and what do you do to calm yourself down? I really feel embarraseed running to the ER when I get frightened. and need some encouragement and coping tips. Thanks

I never had the pains in my chest, but my friend gets those pains a lot. I don't know how often she gets them, or if she takes anything for it, but she said it is pretty painful and scary.
Good Luck and hope you get some relief soon.

Just this last Friday, I thought I was having a heart attack,. Then realized it was possibly to low ( below my sternum). The pressure was STRONG and I couldn't catch my breath! I literally fought the urge to go to the ER ,. #1 because it was Memorial Day weekend,. And #2 our ER doctors are horrible! ( I and my children were misdiagnosed and wrongly medicated on more than one occasion! I now strive to hold out to see my family doctor.
I just went yesterday for blood work up from my family doctor, expecting results tomorrow. Also scheduled an 8am appt tomorrow with OBGYN.
Getting older is the Pitts, but I guess it's better than being 6ft under!😁

Have you had your magnesium levels tested? Low magnesium can cause anxiety and panic attacks, do your muscles hurt? I had painful muscles and terrible anxiety, i take 20ml liquid magnesium and the muscle pain has gone and i definitely feel less anxious and touch wood the panic attacks have subsided. I do get the odd heart flutter, i believe the change in hormones can cause palpitations x

You would think with all the medical technology, and so many of us women going through this, there would be a treatment that cured all our symptoms by now.
That's why no one likes doctors and they all come here for advice instead. Itso comforting to know you're not alone, and actually get helpful advice and empathy here.
If only our Dr's. we're more emphatic and helpful like we all are for each other, imagine the medical industry would be a more positive experience and we would actually like going to them.
Well as I said before, hang in there ladies. This menopause thing won't last forever. Taking it one day at a time.🤗
