Am having a bit of a blip at the moment sweating like mad at nights and anxiety and emotions are all over the place the two seem to be linked as when I don't heat up at night my anxiety is not too bad the next day.
Any ideas if this is a dip or a peak in hormones, I have a merina and oestrogen 25 patch and am a month into hrt so is still early days x

I think it's a dip in oestrogen that causes the hot flushes. Disrupted sleep doesn't help with anything, especially anxiety and emotions! But as you say, it's early days yet, and a month isn't long. Hope you feel better soon.

Hi CG,my hot flushes and night sweats are preceded by adrenaline surges.
I have a fan on full blast by my bed,I'm so used to them now,it's basically duvet off duvet on off on off on,practically do it in my sleep

Yep still early days - 1 month - just need to hang on in there! Countrygirl. If you had been really suffering before for a long time then maybe your body will take a little while to adjust. Bad broken nights don't help anxiety. One kicks off the other and vice versa.
