Nose bleeds, sick with a cold

Posted , 7 users are following.

Ladies I did read that when we are in menopause we can have nose bleeds the reason why is that our hormones are flucuating and it drys out things in our nose to where it can crack, and get sore and bleed even with the cold weather. 

I just wanted to inform you ladies.

Since Thursday I have had a bad cold and just feeling tired and not myself after the nose bleed I had. Today I have a little bit of energy but I just seem tired and not into it feel weak at times and just really tired has anybody been through this with the tiredness and feeling not yourself. 

Would like to know I take a vit d and a multivit but i am still tiredquestion

    Hiya Susan,

    Sorry to hear your not feeling so good.

    Have you tried Jarrow Methylcobalamin B12, 5000 mcg, they have helped me a long with liquid iron?

    can purchase from Amazon.

      Hi Snatchpiece

      Before I take any b12 or 6 supplements since I am on medication I would rather check with my medical doctor. Right now I take vit d and a multivit and my medication for anxieties and depression and my thyroid medication and my blood pressure medication plus I did take vit b6 on Christmas Eve I had a bad panic attack. 

      Thank you for the suggestion though, I will talk to my doctor about my iron level though

      Hi Susan,

      Regarding the iron, mine was checked in 2012 and was ok but when I have acupuncture the lady says for ladies it doesn't do any harm in taking liquid iron which you can get from holland and barrent. You will see on the box that it's good for the menopause. To be honest when I miss a few doses I can tell because my anxiety often comes back with heart palpitations. My acupuncturist tells me that it's quite common for ladies to be blood definition at this time of our lives.

      Hi Susan,

      This forum is so good that we can bounce ideas or suggestions between each other. The good thing is you can choose what might be good for you to take or just remember for the future. in the last two years I have learnt so much where's two years ago I thought I had some bad disease I was dying from! Not realizing it was just me being in this peri transition. Joy x

      I agree with you Snatchpiece this forum is good. Like last year I did not kow I was having a symptom of peri menopause. It started last year in 2014 in April and May when I was having heart palpitations and stomach problems. 

      I have learned a lot about menopause symptoms and talking about it has helped me a lot. Smilebiggrin

    Hi yes tired too and having 3 good days a month seemed to be the norm since this crisis began last year.  I am 48.  I now take B75 Complex suggested to me by a lady on here and it has really helped with energy so having more than 3 good days now.  We all need energy to get through this.  I also take a multi vitamin gummy, vitamin C gummy, the B75 complex in the early hours and in the evening a Caltrate with vitamin D chew for bone health. I will need my bones one day once I get some energy. haha.

    xxoo

    I know your pain.  Nosebleeds have been a sword in my side forever.  As a child my nose is stuffy and used decongestant sprays and I am paying for it now.  Nose bleeds with the cold dry air and worsened with menopause.  Its hard not to get scared.

    I sometimes use sudafed pills.  I have humidifier going constantly in the winter living room and bedroom.  This winter it has been brutal.  My doc told me to use vaseline in the nostrils and that helps somewhat.
