Well, if I were you I would see a doctor about this vomiting. Symptoms like weakness, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, gas, constipation, and diarrhea that some women experience around (peri)menopause are actually not thought of as a result of hormonal imbalance.

Although irregular and crazy periods, as well as the change in flow are the symptoms of hormonal decrease, vomiting is not, or at least not that common and you should see a doctor to check if there’s anything else going on with you beside the hormonal fluctuations.

The symptoms mentioned above are usually related to anxiety but anxiety could be a reason of decreasing levels of estrogen. Anyway, it is hard to say if your symptoms are related to the beginning of the menopause or not.
To be on the safe side, have them checked!!!!
