Hi
I am a newbie to this site. I have been perimenopausal for a couple if years with periods fluctuating and hot flushes coming and going. I have seen my doctor to discuss HRT but have been nervous to take it.
Symptoms have got much worse in the last month - hot flushes in the day, wild temperature fluctuations at night and just getting no sleep, complete loss of libido and very dry in that department.
So decided to start with the Vagifem (was prescribed 2 week course then 2 days a week). Used it last Thursday night. I had a terrible night then woke up with a bad headache and feeling spaced out and very dizzy. It passed but I didn't take one the next night as I was doing a long drive the following day and couldn't risk feeling dizzy. Experimented again the following night and it seemed ok so used for 4 nights but then came over feeling dizzy again. Got up yesterday and felt a bit short of breath and headache a bit sick. Has anyone else had similar issues? Unsure if I should be worried by these symptoms or just take nurofen for my headache keep going and hope they will pass.
I am going back to the docs today to get my blood pressure checked. I am also worried that if I have reacted to this moving into oral HRT might be difficult.
( I was given sandrena and utrogest)
Any advice welcome.
Thanks
Macjac
