I would have your blood sugar checked. This can cause the same symptoms you are describing mood swings hot flashes and all. I am 41 and menapousal but I also have blood sugar issues. good luck!
Hello. I have had the same symptoms as you and have been begging my doc to test me for menopause, if there is such a test, for the last several years. They won't even discuss it. I have had trouble sleeping, wake up exhausted every single morning (for years), hot flashes in the night (sometimes during the day - and sometimes chills), I have severe bloating, cramping, the cramps have worsened over the years.
My periods are getting heavier and heavier and closer and closer together.
I have PMDD and in the last couple of years have become a raving lunatic - I mean serious mood swings, enough to scare myself and not ilke myself at all during the week before my period...it's AWFUL!!!!!!!!! I have horrid headaches right before or during my period that cannot be controlled without Relpax.
I have began having periods every 2.5-3 weeks...fun.
I just had a pelvic u/s and transvaginal u/s which showed everything normal except "free pelvic fluid"??? The doc doesn't seem concerned???
I've had my thyroid checked, anemia, every other blood test you can imagine, everythng comes back normal-which is good - but WHAT IS WRONG???
My stomack feels like a gas baloon...constantly gurgling and no matter what I do, it's feeling bloated - vaginal u/s actually was very uncomfortable because of this??!! And I feel "pressure" when having intercourse, especially if my husband is behind me....
I have no idea what to do......
Are you taking any Meds as sometimes there are side effects,anxious about anything as Anxiety can give you Physical symtoms, Do you suffer from PMT, check out if you have any of these.
