Upset with my current Gyn
Posted , 4 users are following.
Two weeks ago I was put back on premarin .625. He also gave me 100mg of progesterone. Since I have only been on these for 2 weeks I realize this is not enough time to see how the dosage will work. I have noticed increase anxiety and some heart palpitations. I called his office yesterday to see if maybe he could tweak the dosage because of this. His nurse called me back and told me that he says go see a cardiologist. I don't need to see a cardiologist. This is crazy. I have read that too little estrogen can cause these systems so why couldn't he raise the dosage of the premarin and maybe decrease the progesterone. I am not happy about this so now I am thinking just after reading a lot of my older posts years ago I did not ever do well on premarin. I regret going back getting on this again. I am thinking of getting a second opinion. I did go see an endocrinologist last week and she did take blood to check my DHEA.

I suggest you find a female doctor who has experience with menopausal women. I go to a women's clinic where they seem to know everything that's peri and menopausal related. It's a relief when you have this type of support. Premarin is not usually a first line of choice for peri symptoms so I find this sort of odd, I agree get a second opinion.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I'm going to see a female Gyn. I have been taken 2 hormones for 2 weeks and I'm not liking the way I feel. I have never experienced hot flashes so how do I know this is really menopause? I have the depression, anxiety, insomnia. I realize after having my hysterectomy in 2012 I didn't like taking the premarin then. Now I remember why I went off on it. I wish now I had not gone back to the other doctor. I am an impatient person. I was getting desperate to get back on estrogen.
