Since jan i have had 2 periods a month (used to have 2 a yr), im having warm episodes, anxiety, bloating, headaches and dizzyness. Ive mentioned menopause to mt gp and she dismisses it. Im 42 and started my periods when i was 10. Is this anxiety, perimenopause or am u just going nuts? Anyone else feeling the same or similar?
Hi:
It sounds like perimenopause to me and within the right age range. Ask your mom when she experienced these symptoms and when she began to feel symptoms of actual menopause. This might be a predictor for you. If it gets real uncomfortable, get a second opinion, especially if you don't completely trust your current doctor. Try to relax about it. The stress is not helpful. Keep asking questions and you'll get the right help. Let us ladies know how it goes for you.

Thanks for your reply. My mum died 11 yrs ago so i cant ask her, im going to ask for a blood test to check my hormones. The headaches and the dizzyness are the most worrying but if i knew it was the menopause coming, i would stop worrying as much, thus causing less stress.
I'm sorry to hear about your mom. Is your grandmother available? She might know, or an aunt. Be sure to find a second opinion to get your questions answers. Be sure that you are healthy and let us know.
Hi Kaytee66....Were you able to find anything out from any family members? Are you still having the same symptoms? Did they disappear on their own, or did you seek out medical attention? I hope you did. Don't be satisfied without any answers. Your stress level will go down with solid answers. I hope that things are better for you now. Please let me know what you found out. I hope that is is something simple. I'll be waiting to hear from you.
