Hi Cherylks
I'm 53, and postmeno, 3years now, and like you at first thought everything's ok here
I'm not one that's going to suffer, how wrong was I.
Anxiety hit, palps, adrenaline rushes, strange feelings like my blood pressure was dropping
and I was going to pass out, and other stuff that I can't even explain!
I do have the odd chest pain but with me if it doesn't last long then I dismiss it and
Never go to the docs. I put it down to anxiety, its absolutely horrible and I feel panic starting
to creep in and I have to keep my mind calm until it goes away. It's exhausting.
Then there's the tiredness. Some days are ok, others not so good, depends on how
I've slept the night before. I've also got a liver disease which causes fatigue and sometimes
I just can't be bothered to do anything..if I do too much one day, it'll catch up with me the next.
I do take hrt. I'm on femoston conti ultra low dose. 0:5mg/2:5mg.
And it seems to be working at the mo for me. I only started back on it in February because
Of low mood and crying a lot, but it seems to be ok, except for headaches that I get as a side effect
But a couple paracetamol sort that out. Maybe you could try the ultra low dose like I'm on?
I'm sorry I can't give any more help but I'm sure one of the other ladies will give you their
Help..
Hang on in there cherylks, it's got to get better,
Jd x.
