Hi everyone,
I'm 48 and started HRT last year as I wasn't sleeping. Been good up until about 4 weeks ago.
I've been on 75 mcg most of the time, but then went to 100 when sleep was a bit bad again - then all of a sudden it was like at the start - hardly sleeping at all, so went to 100mcg.
I have been seeing a doctor at Newsons Health who has advised to go higher on my patches and to have a blood test (booked for Tuesday) to see if I am absorbing it OK. So I've been on 125mcg for 10 days and am sleeping, but the thing is since starting 125mcg I feel very strange - lightheaded in an anxious type way, blocked up like getting a cold and just not right... I do get anxiety every now and then so can be sensitive to changes in my body.
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this, If it will eventually pass and also, if it turns out that I am not absorbing it properly but am on a higher dose - can this still give you side affects?
Hope that makes sense ( feeling very spacey so not easy to focus!)
I look forward to hearing your views, Thanks
