Hi im new to the site , ive just started the menopause my anxiety levels r sky high I keep getting a discomfort under my left ribcage I have acid reflux does anyone else get this symptom its scaring me

Hi Butterfly - welcome to the forum - you will find lots of support on here.

Is the acid reflux and pain a new thing? I would be inclined to get it checked out with the doc just to put your mind at rest. It's easy to blame everything on menopause and it's a shame to suffer if you can have something to make it better.

Hi butterfly I am new too. I am further along the meno path now but 4 years ago when I was starting to get flushes I also suffered badly with acid reflux. My mum died of stomach cancer and this is how hers started so you can imagine my worry. I went to the doctor got Omeprazole and after a few months it started to get better which was good as I didn't want a camera down my throat. I still avoid foods that are acid and occasionally still get it but it is better than it was. I think the anxiety it causes makes it worse. I hope you can get some reassurance and some treatment for it.

Hi

Am making myself ill with worry over new symptoms which have just started to appear.  Feeling tingling in feet which is accompanied with crampy tight calves.  I have a tingling on the tip of my nose, and I am also experiencing a really weird tightning sensation on my outer thigh. (Nothing to see, but is the feeling you get in your arm when having the band round for blood pressure).  This feeling only happens for a brief few seconds at a time, but it's like I'm really aware of the material next to the skin, if that makes sense.  I did have odd syptoms like this years back, convinced myself I had MS (which was discounted by neuro doc), and health anxiety followed.  On top of this I also have a bad headache, stiff neck and slight tingling there too. Feel a bit spacey.

HELP!!!!   P.S.  Have just started a period yesterday   

Bumping for holidaylover. I alsoo had the tightening sensatin on my thigh (inner in my case). I have asked you if you ever had migaines, with or without headache. it looks like you had them in the past, albeit mild ones. I suspect we have the same thing going on.
