U could have continued with the other thread :-\ so that responses don't become lost.
Your GP can prescribe a drug that should ease/stop continual bleeding. Blood tests are reliably un-reliable. Peri-menopause are the years leading up to the final period = menopause. During that time periods may wax or wane, or stop completely. Once we have been at least 12 months without a bleed we can consider that we have reached menopause.

Sorry I am new to this was unsure how to carry on the thread so started a new one I aren’t very pc savvy

As CLKD has said, blood tests are unreliable, this is due to your hormones changing so much throughout the day, every day.
During peri, periods can be all over the place, the duration can be much shorter/longer, the blood loss is sometimes spotting to heavy bleeding.

I'd give it a few more days to see if it stops as it may still be an unusually long period. As it's the first one for months the lining may have built up more than normal. If bleeding is a problem you can get tranexamic acid to stop it and a scan would check nothing else is causing it.

Thank you everyone I will see how it goes for a few more days as you say could be a build up to come away.just battle with this awful health anxiety I have developed in peri too
