Waves of chills while falling asleep and scary brain zap with quick dream that wakes me up
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi all, does anyone meno or post-meno experience waves of chills when (trying) to sleep? Particularly in the morning when you've had not much luck sleeping at night?
Also, I will randomly get a "quick scary dream" just as I fall asleep and it wakes me right back up into a panic... then I feel like blood rushing to my forehead in response to the startle. Possibly in the "brain zap" category.. but it's like a strong voice or vision that rattles me accompanied by a sense of doom.
- On a good note, my appetite seems to be returning a little. I've lost 28 lbs from pure menopausal anxiety. Actually, I believe I'm postmenopausal but the gyno put menopausal on my chart - my FSH 121 and LH 52
Estrogen wayyyy down
Did not take the patch
Can anyone here relate to these symptoms? Constant, extreme fear, doom, weird sleep stuff, chills when falling asleep. Thanks all and good luck

i have been having bouts of chills for a little over a year. When they come on, I'm usually sitting at night watching tv and then they continue when I go to bed; I literally can't put enough blankets on to get warm. I now am having issues with waking up in the middle of the night soaked in sweat. I do not get any of the other symptoms you're experiencing. By chance are you on anxiety medication, because that can cause brain zap symptoms. I hope you feel better soon.
