Yep, swollen hands, ankles and calves throb after walking a few blocks - and I'm a runner! I've read its not so much salt intake (its a myth that we don't need salt, we really do, just Americans eat about 5000mg too much from processed foods) its the hormonal imbalance. B6 helps a great deal - check out the site Power Surge, there's a huge list of supplements you can take to remedy just about any of your icky symptoms.
In case your interested there's a really good website for women going thru menopause...it's called "Power Surge"...very informative & lots of women on the message forum discussing their issues.
I am 53 and in menopause and I have actually fainted now while driving. My heart was racing and I had a hot flash and then I lost consciousness for 3 or 4 seconds. Went off the road, through a fence and into a field. Very luckily, no one was hurt. This happened a year ago. Had tons of tests done on my heart, blood work, etc. Nothing found. Now, a year later, I'm starting to get the dizzy spells again (not vertigo though, I've had that before).
It could be good ole Menopause. I'm 53, started it at 49. That happen to me a lot. The hormones were missing, I even get sick to my stomach . Something to think about.... at least your not alone...

She had been to the doc prior to fainting and her iron level results came back as 11. Normal is 14 and the doc revealed that 11 was ok in women. They put her on iron supplements regardless.
Then I can remember psychological changes in her. She is currently feels the following:
-Brain zaps which can awaken her during sleep.
-Brain fog: Wakes up out of nowhere feeling confused.
the first time i faint was on my first day in Gym, which the coach assured me its natural !
then after few weeks i got a feeling that i can't take my breath to the max capacity of my lungs but those symptoms went away after a couple of weeks ..
//www.34-menopause-symptoms.com. I found this website very valuable while I was going through menopause. Like I said, this might not be what's happening with your daughter; I'd suggest she go see her doctor just to make sure!
They would come every minute or every couple of minutes but would only last a few seconds. My blood pressure would surge up but no heart palpitations. My hands would also get really clammy and my feet too. Ive also been experiencing a painful headache for the past two days. What could this possibly be? It doesn't seem to be going away, and I hadn't even thought of menopause because I'm still getting periods and haven't experienced the typical hot flashes of menopause.
I frequently have this surging feeling course through my body. It mostly feels that it comes from my stomach area and moves upward, sometimes I feel it in my legs also. It happens when I'm sleeping too. I have tryed cutting back on caffaine, but it doesn't seem to change anything. It comes and goes and I can't relate it to anything specific. I have just started menopause and it has started since then.
I went through the saliva hormonal testing and found out that I am in menopause ....... being estrogen dominant. I am taking prometrium, 200 mg at night. My night sweats are gone - but I still don't feel energized.
My T3, Reverse levels are at 36 -- a little high with normal being 11-32 ng/dL. No meds were given to me on this.
Do I need to be on meds to keep this stablized? And I need someone to explain the Reverse T3 to me.
missed my period this month...me and my husband checked if I am pregnant...but it came out negative...could it be cause I used a cup and soaked it for 2 seconds only.I am 51 but still having my regular period..me and my husband are trying hard to have a baby.we plaaned to check it again this weekend....if it's still a negative could I be on the way to menopause..have read that clomid tablets,a fertility tablets held...how true is it?
3 months ago I started experiencing weekly episodes of near fainting/fainting. Usually before I have an episode become very spacy and objects seem to sway. I get a strange tingling in my lips, tongue, toes, and fingers. Then, suddenly it feels like all the blood drains from my head and I get close to blacking out, but before I blackout I get a jolt of adrenaline. I notice that somedays seem cloudy and my body has this uncomfortable aura. I just feel sick and drained.
I have been going thru menopause for 1 1/2 yrs, I was put om premilin .
I purchased an OPK and so far at day 14 - no LH surge has been dedtected. I am scared I am no longer ovulating. How acurate are these kits? Is it possible to have ovulated and the kit did not detect it? I am scared to talk to my doctor about Clomid as I have NO desire for multiples. I have a very difficult pregnancy with one baby. Any advice?
re still here with you. Personally, I am on CD18, and waiting for my LH surge. 10 days after my surge I will begin my meds for my first IVF cycle. I am just doing whatever I can to relax, but as each day passes, I am getting a little more anxious. I use the ClearBlue fertility monitor. It is supposed to have three levels of fertility. It startes out low, goes to high as your estrogen increases, and goes to peak when you have a LH surge.
are very common during the menopause years. When you say treated for menopause, what do you mean? Beware of hormone replacement in my opinion as there are links to breast cancer so really options generally are to help with symptoms like hot flashes. I'd go the path of treating depression as menopause may be a trigger for that but you've also had a history. And THAT you can treat.
Hi judyeve,
Thanks for your post. Yes, i did have tests run for thyroid and everything was normal there. I just was trying to determine if women's hormones are still fluctuating post-menopause or is everything related to hormones calm once you're in the post-menopause stage. No one seems to have the answer to that question - or if they do, they're not responding here.
Thanks!
