Hi there, I think I've experienced my first two menopausal panic attacks. Last Sunday, i suddenly felt really exhausted and tearful and just unwell. It was in the run up to a hysteroscopy and coincided with the end of my period (I've had three periods on the trot following 15 months without any). I also had had some very physically tiring days doing a lot of house renovations/ clear outs. Didn't feel great Monday or Tuesday either but I pushed through and did lots of work in the house [clearing, sorting, flat pack furniture making]. Anyway Tuesday night I went to bed feeling shattered and then I woke up during the night with these awful feelings of terror and panic, like I was going mad. It was terrifying. Anyway I got through it, just felt tired the next day. And gave myself a really easy day. Had the hysteroscopy on Thursday, and all was fine with the womb etc. And I'd felt fine since, no more panicky feelings or anything. But then early evening today I had the same sudden chill and exhaustion sweep over me like I needed to sleep there and then, just wanted to close my eyes and cut out, but I stayed up and ate dinner with my kids for their sake, and felt a bit better. But then suddenly, whilst watching TV, those same feelings of panic that I had had Tuesday night hit me. I deep breathed through it and when it had gone, I went and had a bath and all the feelings I had had of feeling unwell and cold all over, and extreme exhaustion, were gone. I've been reading posts on here about panic attacks, and nobody seems to mention chills and exhaustion preceding them, so i just wanted to ask... does anyone else experience this, or were the chills and exhaustion and nausea part of the attack? It felt like two separate phases, like a couple of hours apart.
