Hi, just wondering if this has happened to anyone else.......I was walking my dogs and we went for a run, once I returned home after a few minutes I felt kind of like a faint feeling, sort of rubbery feeling to arms and legs and kind of fuzzy in the head. Sometimes feels like a crazy hot flash. Wonder if it could be a dip in hormones from exercise? I am on ortho evra patch for perimenopause and I am 42 years old. Newly diagnosed perimenopause. This has happened to me before and it does go away, but scary at the time. Have had full neurological work up, and all normal.

Yes, this has happened to me a couple of times, not related to exercise for me.  It was a bit scary like you say.  Sort of like flu symptoms, it has only happened a few times.  Once I got very cold as well.

yep, that is it exactly, always wonder if a change in hormones or symptom of anxiety. Have never had any anxiety/panic attack issues before so was in for a big shock when it first started happening. Just wish with all this menopause stuff there could be some definitive answers. Had a rough night waking up with a start and palpatations. Hoping that my new birth control patch will kick in soon. It does not seem like treating perimenopause with birth control pill/patch is that popular on this forum, and I am wondering how many people have had success during peri with HRT instead of birth control and having own ovaries shut down so a steady stream of hormone could be given? I do realize that the amount of hormones given is quite a bit more than HRT but just wondering how you all get on with just adding to what your body is already making when it changes all the time?

Yep.  We went for a brisk walk on Monday morning, 2 hours after breakfast - it was very windy and cold and when I got home 70 mins. later, my thighs were weak and I felt breathless.  Sat down with a cuppa and a biscuit, 40 mins. OK!

I used to get it in the 24 hours before starting a period and usually after doing something active; now it happens at random times but still following exercise.
