I've been vomitting for over a year. I'm 43 but early menopause runs in the family. I get my period every two weeks and the days leading up are awful. I can't eat because I'm so nauseous but then I dry heave for hours. It's violent, the blood vessels around my eyes burst, my ribs ache and then I'm exhausted. I've never been a "napper" but now I can't sleep enough. And as for socializing or going to the market, forget it. I have panic attacks, my hands freeze up and I have to pull over to the side of the road to be safe. I can't take my daughter clothes shopping bc I feel faint or weak. And this has been going on for years but gotten progressively worse this last year. I've lost 65 pounds I didn't need to lose and I fear I'm falling into a depression. Thoughts?

    Last night was a bad night for me...I woke up with a headache and sweating. I felt like my head was exploding. I was worried it was my blood pressure but the machine confirmed that was ok. Doctors cant find out whats wrong. I've been to the ER 3x because of heart palpitations and chest pain. EKG, CT, Stress test all come back normal.

    I figured peri since I'm 41. I couldn't go back to sleep and ended up finding relief on the cold tile floor.

    I was hard not to let anxiety take over, I just kept saying..."this will pass"
