Hi Carole, I don't think this is menopause related. You might have a hiatal hernia or something else going on. Please go to your doctor to get checked out, just in case. xx

Hi Carole - I am post menopausal, & last year I had a bout of shortness of breath along with horrific bloating & gas. I immediately thought the worse, but also thought it could be caused from anxiety & the fact that I was coming off a bad blood pressure RX. I did go to my allergy dr & my allergy induced asthma had kicked back in after almost 20 years with no symptoms. My allergy dr said sometimes cortisol levels can trigger it. If you look on the 66 symptoms of menopause, allergy issues do come into play, but I also believe it’s the imbalance of hormones affecting our cortisol levels causing us anxiety. Best to check it out, but know that a lot of woman suffer from it - stay calm.

Hi there
I can relate to your symptoms. I started with upper right side quadrant pain when I was 42 thought the worst went for all the tests, which came back normal. One day it just went! However along came other peri symptoms , which is currently , very tender uncomfortable breasts x I’ve just started to take Agnus Castus I’m on day 3 and feel slightly better x I’m now 45 and feel I have a long way to go yet but we hang on in there xx 😚

Hi Carole - During my episodes of severe bloating & gas, a friend recommended I take Activated Charcoal (you can buy it at health food stores) & it gave me great relief. Now that I have entered into the world of “Digestion issues”, I always try & eat papaya enzymes with my meals & put a slice of fresh ginger in my water or eat ginger chews when my stomach feels like a garbage disposal...I feel your pain, it’s very uncomfortable to have these issues -
