Hi
I’m a newbie here and already feel comforted by so much information and supportive posts… thank you
I’ve been on hrt for only 3 weeks after I had what I believe was a menopausal panic attack out of the blue. No idea why- I was pretty chilled at the time.
My whole left side went numb and wobbly, I couldn’t breathe properly, my eyesight went dark at the edges… I honestly thought I was having a stroke.
I’d already been prescribed hrt - evroel conti patches as I’d been suffering from hot flushes for a few months but I resisted starting them after reading the leaflet as I’d also just been diagnosed with a fibroid….
Anyway after that attack I thought I’d give it a go… and ever since that ‘attack’ I’ve felt completely disconnected from the world. Like I’m sort of in the matrix?
I’m aware of everything that is actually happening and I can do everything I need to but it feels like I’m just an imposter living in this world. Like my head is full of cotton wool?
This usually starts about 9/10 am and is accompanied by really noticing eye floaters. Today I could almost see my pulse in my eyes.
Feel a bit like I’m going mad. Is this what they call brain fog? Any advice welcome. I’m due to see my gp for a follow up in 2 weeks
Thanks
