So I have a new anxiety for a new year. Great.  Buzzing.Vibrating sensation over heart area. Just seem to get it at night when I lie down.
Worse when I breath in. Like a mobile phone buzzing.

I had the same last January believe it or not. Had all the CTG scans and 24 hour heart monitor but by the time
it took to get the later (3 weeks) it had gone. Now 12 months later it's back. So sick of going to the GPs.  I seem to go every 2-3 months since Peri struck. They all think I'm just an anxious nut I swear and offer me Sertraline.

It's 2 weeks to get an appointment unless its ' urgent'. What should I do. So fed up. I get over one things and another crops up within days.

It didn't kill you last time?   Does it feel similar?

I had this recently quite fascinating.  Had not had awareness of this area vibrating .......... in the gap between the rib cage on the belly area.

Do you mean Professor Studd?

Thanks ladies. Actually I have just found a thread on this that ran only a few months ago
(Kathleen posted very wisely on it ). Several people posted that they were only just into Meno
which is where I am (last period 4 months ago now). Yes it is exactly the same as I had for a few weeks 18 months ago.
I also feel the same ' not tired but wired' feeling at bedtime which is how I felt in the week before my period
in Peri so I am pretty sure it is hormone related.

Funnily enough I have just done a yoga move for 20 minutes  that one poster recommended back in October as she had read it was due to nerve alignment problems in the pelvis / navel area. An hour on I feel better, no shaking. I have had neck nerve pinching issues
recently so maybe there is a connection.  That is why this site is so fantastic.

I may ask for a GP callback if it is not better by Friday.

I wish I was only going to the doctors every 2 to 3 months. Since premenopausal if I make it two weeks it's a miracle. I can go a couple of months with one or more doctors or specialist appointments a week.
It's killing me financially and I feel like I'm going mad and I hate myself and body for always having something wrong with it.
Truely menopausal sucks.
I hope everything works out of you squeaker99

Why is it a financial output Lyncola - R U in the UK?

 What a difference 24 hours makes sometimes. I asked a nurse friend for some advice who is also struggling with meno and she said wait 24 hours and you will probably feel different / better. She was right.Yesterday afternoon it was as if something had suddenly shifted. I felt calmer, brain stopped fixating, less aware of internal body sensations and doom and gloom.  Totally different night to the one before. Slept for 9 hours, buzzing was much reduced and in different areas. I think this totally goes to show how powerful the Meno hormones can be and how they not only cause local weird/different sensations but also cause huge mental churn & anxiety & for those of us with health anxiety this awful fixation on ' the worst'.

As CLKD says: HORMONES

Also if I was having periods (& non for 4 months now) it would come about now - so looks like the hormone ups and downs are at the root of this, just not at a level to cause a bleed. ' Oestrogen receptor jangles' as one GP once tried to describe it to me.

Onwards to the next crisis I guess.

'mental churn' - describes it well!

Hi CLKD,
No I'm from Australia,
we have the Medicare system over here. You can get doctors that do bulk bill, but I find from experience they are crap doctors that don't know what there talking about, or only 10 minutes appointments. In the pass I have gone with different doctors because mine was busy and 90% off time I end up going back to my doctor. I had one bulk billing doctor told me to get a ultrasound because she said my ovary had burst. I thought what a load of crap and went to my doctor two days time. I told her what the other doctor told me, she thought it was funny and told me if my ovary had burst I would be in so much pain when she felt my stomach that I would of hit the ceiling.
Another doctor i went to because I couldn't get in with mine, I told her I thought I had internal piles. She asked me if I was bleeding I said no, she did a internal with her finger. I went to the toilet after the appointment and there was blood. She had rip me open I bleed from my ass for a whole month after that the pain was terrible. You do get the odd great doctor that bulk bills but can be booked out weeks ahead.
My doctor fee is $75 and I get $37 back from Medicare. I'm lucky she doesn't change me for every appointment, only when I got a new problem (a lot of new problems since premenopausal). Her appointments are 15 minutes and she knows my history (been with her for about 10 years) and she listens to me and she always on time with her appointments. I have to pay for other medical appointments too, some are covered by Medicare, some you get a little bit back, others your totally out of pocket. Last year I payed for blood test, specialist like rheumatologist and some types of scans. Then there's all the medicine and vitamins that add up.
My goal in life at the moment is to pay my mortgage off. We do have another property that my parents rent. But they won't pay much rent and it left up to my husband and I, to pay for all the repairs, mortgage rates and body corporate. That's why I want my mortgage payed off, with the cost of living money is getting tight, it would be nice to have our house mortgage free and I can stop cleaning peoples houses it's killing my back.

I'm glad your feeling better squeaker99, I had a hysterectomy one and half years ago and I know exactly when I would be due for my periods and have couple days of terrible pain.
