Hi all! 53 y.o., having a number of health issues over the last few months. Wondering if may be related to menopause ? Still having regular periods. Bowel symptoms, abdominal pain on and off, primarily on left side. Chronic lumbar pain. Most curious symptom - a cough for a number of months, milder now than it was, a wet gurgle in the back of the throat rather than a chest cough. Haven't had a cough like this before. Nurse friend thought it might be gastro reflex, have tried peptide inhibitor, cough still lingering! Bloods and urine normal. Scan for uterine fibroid negative, chest x Ray clear, abdominal ultrasound clear. GP wants me to have a colonoscopy. Feeling rotten, but in good form! Curious about it all!😀
