Post Menopause Fatigue
Posted , 2 users are following.
It's been a while since ive been on here. But im back. I m into 19 mths of menopause and im dealing with symptoms still. Not as bad but still lingering. But why am I still having symptoms around the time i would get a period or the time I would ovulate? Ive been so so fatigue that its unbelievable. When I get up to move around I tire out. I did a 4pt cortisol test a couple months ago and all 4 pts were very very low. Anyone else feel so so fatigue?
My dr is sending me to a cardiologist because my blood pressure was high and I was having heart palpitations when she was checking it. So she decided to do a ekg and it was abnormal . She said left artery appeared to be enlarged . I told her i have bad anxiety at the dr and my heart beats really fast when i go. Now even more anxiety since i have to see a cardiologist. Menopause sucks!!!

Hi Mary, I too am in menopause I am 56, I am not sure how long I have been in it for I had an ablation done because of heavy bleeding. I also continue to have symptoms that feel like I am ovulating cramping, tender breast etc. I am tired all the time because I can't sleep because of menopause symptoms. I also have high blood pressure and heart palpitations which happened while having an ekg. I also get very anxious which can cause me to have palpitations. I know exactly how you feel...in the mean time try and be positive, which can be quite difficult, and just think... well if in fact they find something at the cardiologist you were able to go early and the dr will get you back on track. This is such a confusing time, no wonder anxiety is a symptom. I will be thinking of you and hope all goes well.

thank you! The frustrating part is that it's hard to get an appt to cardiologist.

Yes I am post menopause. Last year my Dr. did blood work which showed that I am. I still find that monthly I have certain symptoms that crop up. I have more hot flashes during that time and palpitations. I still do not have a great sleep pattern. I continue to use a magnesium oil spray before bed which seems to help at least it relaxes me, also seems to help when I get palpitations. I've personally come to the conclusion...it is what it is....enjoy the good days and find something good in the days that aren't. We are all here for a short time better make the best of any day we are lucky enough to be given!
