HI , I AM 53 AND POSTMENOPAUSAL , NO PERIOD FOR 2 AND A HALF YEARS , I SUFFERED FROM REALLY BAD PALPITATIONS AND ANXIETY , BUT EVENTUALLY GOT TO GO ON BETA BLOCKERS , FOR MY PALPITATIONS , WHICH ARE WORKING AND I AM STILL ON THEM , I WAS ALSO PUT ON ADS , WHICH EVENTUALLY DID WORK , I HAVE BEEN OFF THE ADS FOR 8 MONTHS NOW , BUT MY ANXIETY HAS COME BACK.
MY DOCTORS SAID IF ANXIETY DOES COME BACK I CAN GO ON ADS AGAIN , BUT I DO NOT WANT TO STOP ON THEM FOR TOO LONG , SO OFF I WENT TO DOCTORS THIS MORNING , BUT MY DOCTOR IS RETIRING THIS WEEK , SO THE RECEPTIONIST DECIDED THAT SEEING THE NUSRSE WOULD BE OK , SO I HAD TO EXPLAIN MYSELF TO HER , THAT MY ANXIETY HAD STARTED UP AGAIN , AND I SAID THAT I WAS POSTMENOPAUSAL AND NOT HAD A PERIOD FOR 2 AND A HALF YEARS , AND WAS STILL HAVING THE HOT FLUSHES, AND THEN SHE SAID TO ME WHO TOLD YOU YOUR ANXIETY WAS DOWN TO MENOPAUSE/POST MENOPAUSE , I SAID I HAVE HAD MANY TESTS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS , AND THE DOCTORS PUT IT DOWN TO THE MENOPAUSE , BUT SHE TOTALLY DISAGREED , SHE SAID AS IN MANY WORDS THAT IT WAS NOT DOWN TO MENOPAUSE , BECAUSE I WAS NOT HAVING PERIODS , THE ANXIETY COULD NOT BE LINKED TO POST MENOPAUSE , I HAVE NEVER SUFFERED FROM ANXIETY BEFORE ALL THE MENOPAUSAL STARTED , I WAS FURIOUS WITH HER , SHE GAVE ME SOME ADS , AND I HAVE TO GO BACK AND SEE HER IN 4 WEEKS , BUT I WILL NOT BE GOING TO SEE HER AGAIN.
I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FORM YOU LOVELY LADIES YOU ALWAYS GIVE GOOD ADVICE.
