Sad, anxious, nauseous

Posted , 11 users are following.

hello ladies.... I am on day 4 of my cycle, I have bad anxiety, terrible headaches, muscle pain, but to add more I also got bad nausea, nasal congestion, stuffy ears ringing and heart palps. Does anyone else get nasal congestion and sinus type of problems around their period? I've heard about nosebleeds but not nasal congestion and blocked ears. I also feel bit numbness in my arms and tingling. what are you ladies taking to help relieve your symptoms? please help. thank you all wonderful peri warriors.

    Yes.. I usually get the headaches among a list of other stuff around my period. I believe my headaches are related to sinus so I take tylenol sinus for head pressure and it helps a lot. My DR. mentioned that as we age allergies get worse. I do have nasel spray and try to use it regularly just to keep major sinus stuff at bay. My heart palps last for a day or 2.For the aniexty I try to stay to stay busy or long deep breaths help too..

      I am 49 as well and these are my exact symptoms right now. I constantly feel like I have to clear my throat. I also get a very heavy weird feeling in my head. My doctor says its my sinus being congested. I hope this all goes away soon!

      Pam, you just described me. We can't goggle or else.... It makes things worse every single time I goggle. I just believe we are going to make it. I pray every day but for the past 2 days, I pray then I put CBD oil under my tongue (3) drops and so far much better. Brain fog (which is one of my worse) not completely gone but the sense of some of the other 84... Lol symptoms have gotten better. My energy is a little better too. I also take Vitamin D 1000, Magnesium Glycinate and Fish Oil. I can't continue to let this Menopause devil win. I have good and bad days but I am praying for way more better days for all of us ladies. Hugs & Kisses

    i have all this post nasal drip in my throat and im wondering if this whats causing my mild heartburn

  • Posted

    I suffered the heartburn for years. I think mine was stress related which got to a whole new level with perimenopause. I take probiotics, watch what I eat, and, I think meditative walking in the morning helps me a lot. Heartburn is one symptoms, I feel like I finally have overcome for a while. Of course there are dozens more, but.... Hope you feel better soon. Thanks for posting and sharing. I feel like this forum really helps my health anxiety, to know that this is not "in my head!"
