Hi Maz66
Sorry to hear about your problems. I can understand that your blood pressure should be controlled and there are many ways to do this. You mention losing weight - but what is your weight generally - I mean are you in healthy BMI range now or below?
Some women do find they experience nausea during peri-menopause but this is often connected with high oestrogen (like in pregnancy), but if you are skipping periods it is not clear what your oestrogen levels are doing - generally as you enter the peri-menopausal transition they decline overall so I understand - but there may still be extreme fluctuations that could affect you.
I would mention the nausea and weight loss to the doctor if you are experiencing this every day and you have lost weight despite eating/exercising the same. If the nausea means you are not eating then this could account for it, but often the nausea associated with oestrogen excess is helped by eating (again like in pregnancy). At least this will rule out other causes.
Re your fibromyalgia - I presume you have had blood tests to rule out hormone and vitamin deficiencies to account for this? Please don't worry about contacting your doctor - that is what they are there for and it is very convenient to give women labels of conditions and syndromes and then just letting you get on with it! We are far from understanding why women suffer all these problems starting in mid life and a more thorough endocrinological investigation may well help. Don't let them just say "It's your fibromyalgia dear" or words to that effect - symptoms do need investigation!!!
Good luck and let us know how you get on.
