Hi
I joined a couple of years ago when I initially began my menopause journey. I was out on oestrogen gel and progesterone tablets. All went fine then my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer and my health anxiety kicked in and I came off. I actually did really well (aged 56) and thought that was me finished. My last period was about aged 54. I’m now 57 and for the last 5 months I’ve been having sudden surges of body heat ,no sweats, which last a few minutes. They leave me feeling tired, cold and shaky and nauseous. This nausea can last a few days and is then often triggered by food. General blood tests are all fine . GP thinks it’s all linked to anxiety which also increased around the time this all started. But chicken and the egg…..I have had a long term issue with anxiety but this nausea does not feel like the stomach churning kind that often comes with that. It’s more low level, like a travel sickness….
Several people have suggested it may be linked to menopause. Based on my above info what are thoughts? Can symptoms appear a few years after menopause?
