I'm 45 and feel crazy!! Is this perimenopause??? My symptoms... heart palpitations, anxiety, emotional,I get warm (not quite a hot flash), periods are regular, but sometimes super heavy or shorter, tired, my pear shaped body looks more like an apple (where did my waist go?), stressed, hypochondria, feelings of doom, my PMS seems worse, breast tenderness and swollen. Does this sound familiar!!

    When I read your post, it was like I wrote it, I don't feel so abnormal now, I can cope with the dodgy periods and the hot episodes what I am having trouble with is the depression and the ANGER issues where I want to scream at every one, it's turning me into a Mr Meldrew,person and testing my marriage to the limits, sorry no really a reply my first time on this type of thing
