Hi,
Hoping you can help this 50 year old nurse who feels like she is falling apart!!
I’m not really sure if I’m perimenopausal! I have had a mirena coil for the last 10 years so have had no periods at all so cant use them to give guidance!!
I have developed the following symptoms over the last weeks and days......
Increase in resting heart rate with palpitations. Pulse consistently high over last couple of days ... well over 100 beats a minute at rest (GP telephone appointment tomorrow!)
Brain fog.... can’t concentrate!
Difficulty sleeping (initially blamed husbands snoring!!!)
Headaches.... especially Morning and night.
Increasing anxiety ( not usually an anxious person) and emotion (cry easily) and general apathy
Vaginal itching... thought it was thrush that wouldn’t go away!!!
Itchy skin... feels dry. Increase in contact dermatitis which had mostly resolved.
Tingly, ‘fizzy legs’ at night sometimes especially when tired.
Today I had several episodes where sweat running down my back!!! This is new. Hate a warm bedroom and don’t like being warm in bed but used fan over last few nights.
Does this sound familiar? It seemed to start so quickly!!
My mirena was due to be changed in august but I was told that there was no rush due to my age! Could this be a factor?
I’m probably healthier than I have been for years..... exercising, eating well and lost a stone over last few months!
What do you ladies think? Any support or advice would be great fully received!!!
