Hi all, I have been off HRT for 6months due to breast cysts and had been coping but now finding my anxiety is getting worse :( i seem to worry all the time about the slightest thing and always think the worse case health wise, it is just the pits. I am on propranolol 40mg x 1 a day but don’t know whether to up my tablets to help or try HRT again 🤷♀️. I have a cold left arm and it aches with pains and sometimes in my left breast which worries me but i am sure it is hormonal as it comes and goes as does my mood and how i let things affect me. From no where I can get pains in my chest just before going out even though been fine all morning and I am having trouble getting to sleep again, as always wide awake even thou tired at bedtime and often not falling alsleep till 1-2am, also sex drive has gone which makes me feel a bad wife 🙈 generally i wish I didn’t worry about everything and just felt like my old self, so any advice on whether to go back on HRT or not would be helpful but am worried as I have been to hospital 3 times in last year to have cysts drained, thank you for reading

Anxiety can control every thing we do. 4 me it's physical first then my brain begins chuntering to itself >:(
I took Propranolol at night so would add 40mg Propranolol on alternate mornings to ease any surges. What happened about the breast cycles, who advised stopping the HRT?

When I went to the hospital said HRT can mean you are more likely to get cysts and so did the GP so have tried with out it, but I hate worrying about everything just feel it takes over and makes me miserable. I have been on one 40mg propranolol for a few years now and was doing ok but hate relying on the medication to stop the symptoms 🙈🙈

What's the problem - if you were diabetic or had a heart condition :-\
MayB ask for a referral to a dedicated menopause clinic?
