Hi I am a 39 yr old woman with 3 children. I am about 75lbs overweight, unfortunately always have been. Recently, Ive been having some strange symptoms for my age, and Im wondering if this could be the start of perimenopause. My main symptom is night sweats, almost every night. They are not horrible, but I do wake up sweaty, and hot. I remember having this problem when I was in my mid twenties before I had children, but havent experienced it since. My mom was in her early 50's when she went through menopause.
I am still having very regular periods, every 28-30 days, lasting 4-5 days. This month however it was 2 days early, that almost never happens. In addition I suffer from "visual" migraines, meaning I get the aura, but never the headache. At the start of my period this month, until 3 days after I got a vascular migraine (throbbing pain), no aura. I do suffer from sleep apnea as well. Im wondering since my periods are still regular if this is really perimenopause, or something else? Any input is appreciated..
