have you done a pregnancy test the only reason im asking as it doesn't give ur age so you never know you might be pregnant and i know its hard to believe falling pregnant when your in your 40s or 50s but it is possible you should get it checked out with a doctor before you do anything else.

Yes, it could be menopause, but it is a good idea to see a doctor for a physical exam and describe your symptoms if a visit is not a big hardship financially.  You may notice hot flashes, but hot flashes can be menopause or can be thyroid or other problems.  A good diet and exercise lessens symptoms, and there are also herbal supplements that are helpful if symptoms are troublesome for you.
