Dandelion you sound so much like me it’s like an anxious knot in my stomach, when I get a chance to have a nap I can’t as either I have palpitations that stop me or like you say wake up so anxious it’s not worth it x

I wonder if it's the oestrogen. I had it before I went on hrt it started in 2009, hrt stopped it but I don't know whether the oestrogen or progesterone did the job.
It's got a lot worse, dunno if its cos I changed from 50mcg gel to patch same dose, wondering if I should halve it but if its lack of O then I am buggered.
I wish I hadn't messed around with my hormones, my sisters didnt go on hrt.

I was thankful for HRT when this all started 2 years ago as I was in a bad way, but now it’s never ending with all different symptoms and thinking each day what to do for the best it’s all I think about?? I’ve gone with 3 pumps and will monitor for a while 🤞

Let us know how you go. I can’t sleep in the day either as, no matter what meditation or deep breathing I try, I just can’t relax. It’s as if either menopause or HRT has taken this skill away from me. x
