    Hey, I had a spell of this and then it just passed. It's really difficult, as it's so unpleasant and scary, but the more you stress about it, the worse it gets. hang in there, I'm sure it'll pass soon x

    Hi Liihlies

    I was interested to read about your shortness of breath. I'm 62 and thought I was pretty much through all this but since Feb I've been suffering with severe fatigue and also shortness of breath. If I'm gardening and leaning over its really bad then, also when I first start out walking.

    I went to the doc and she's ordered a blood test but wants me to think about HRT. I'm really not sure about starting it at my age, I've come this far without any.

    It would be good to hear what others think, the fatigue has been a shock as I am one of life's busy people normally.

    I'm not sure how old you are, perhaps you would post again and comment if you are any better . . . hopefully!

    Maybe it'll pass eventually like for you Claire.
