Feel like I am having an adrenaline rush.  My pulse is in the 80s and I feel like I'm buzzing. Been going on all morning.   Anyone else had this?

[Night_Owl]

Hi TC - Yes, for many years since meno, experienced the ghastly adrenaline rushes, with and without accompanying flushes - at night too - and I'm on low dose HRT.  I try hard to control it with deep breathing exercises, thought diversion, rescue remedy, brisk walking helps the most, magnesium - I throw everything at it.  For reasons I've not been able to fathom, sometimes worse than others, very jittery too. 

What do you do to try and calm the horrid feeling?

[CLKD]

Walk.  Or sit until it goes away.

When if first happened to me I was really scared.  Always feels like hot water coursing through my veins

Do you get a weird wooshiness in your tummy too? Really hard to describe but hopefully you'll get what I am on about. Presume this is adrenaline?

[Salad]

Yes - I had this back in January, really unpleasant as it was accompanied by high heart rate 110-115.  I also had dizziness.

I increased my HRT dose and thankfully on the whole it has settled.

That's interesting salad, I've Ben in a higher state of anxiety the last couple of weeks, all though I have a lot going on at the moment I was wondering if a higher dose may also help as I experience what everyone is discussing.
Thanks

I have had this happen too.  Is distressing and uncomfortable.

I have never been bothered by injections but during recent visits for dental work in hospital, I have blacked out each time I had an injection for local anaesthetic.  My body released big flood of adrenaline and I immediately pass out.  The dental surgeon confirmed is likely to be my peri-meno causing this reaction.  Each time, I came round, it passed and the work was able to go ahead. 

I normally am a blood donor but thought it sensible to arrange to be taken off their books for three years.

I have found that my Dentist is more meno-aware than many GPs seem to be from the reports on here

How interesting. I had a similar dentist's injection experience, but never made the connection!
