5 serious menopause symptoms you shouldn’t ignore

When it comes to your menopause symptoms, there are lots of things you can do to help yourself. However, there are some symptoms that you will need help from your doctor to treat.
So, this week, I thought I would take a look at 5 serious symptoms you shouldn't ignore - what to look out for and why you need to consult your doctor if you experience any of them.

Im surprised high blood pressure wasn't mentioned I developed high blood pressure when I hit my menopause Never had it before It can be very dangerous if left unchecked

[@AvogelCoUk]

Absolutely Maliha. I do mention HBP in a number of my vlogs and that's it's really important to get it checked regularly and seek medical advice if appropriate. Best Wishes Eileen

[@elizabethsmit9268]

I let it get to the point, so bad, I was fired. A blessing on some levels, a tremendous amount of additional stress on others. We need to solve this with more menopause centers and options - time off - for the next generation of professional women who will go through this.

[@TheMerFree]

I've had literally ALL symptoms that you discussed, right down to the fibroid tumors and crazy bleeding. I've been perimenopausal for several years probably and did not even know it. Had a hysterectomy 1.5 yrs ago due to fibroids, profuse bleeding, and severe anemia. And then my hormones spiraled into terrible emotional changes and mood dysregulation. Thank you for your video content! I think others who are struggling will be helped very much by your advice!

[@susanc.houghtondogandfolka3163]

I bled heavy for 14 weeks nonstop. Gushing at times. No fibroids. Just unlucky. Needed several blood transfusions and iron infusions. Had a uterine ablation which helped and then I went into full blown menopause soon after. It was horrible!

[@shendaraalshedir1933]

Thanks for this. I suffered a number of issues, some painful, but l never got any proper treatment or help from *any* doctor l went to. But here in this area it is not unusual to remain untreated if you are not in the right income or job. I am now post-menopausal at 61, however, I have suffered from an incredibly painful bladder. EVERY single day it feels like there is a little sharp knife cutting inside my bladder & tract. It can be aching even when l am not urinating! Now of course covid is used as an even better excuse for doctors to do nothing, no matter my income! I am angey & fed up, this started in *spring of 2018* !!!😡 3 1/2 years of daily pain, all day long.🇨🇦

I had all that, extreme heavy bleeding for 10 years! I was anemic n on iron tablets. I later almost collapsed with blood loss. So I changed my doctor who got me expert treatment. Ended up with fibroid size of an orange removed and a womb scrape. T coil fitted. Best thing I ever did! If you're not wanting anymore children, I highly recommend this. No periods anymore, moods more stable.

I had a hysterectomy in 2019, for endometriosis, which helped my pain for two years. I didn't feel bad menopause symptoms right away, but they got so troublesome I had to start HRT meds. 1mg estrogen wasn't enuff, not only hot flashes, great fatigue and heart palpatations. Had to see a menopause specialist, who added 100mg progesterone, which provided relief for a while. I just moved, I'm waiting to see new primary doc, and feel terrible every day. No one takes it seriously, but that's fine, as long as I get the help I need.

The problem is though is that all doctors know how to do is offer an SSRI or SNRI, HRT or Birth Control. None of which I can have. I stopped my SSRI 5 years ago and have been in PAWS ever since (post acute withdrawal syndrome) (which, go figure, most doctors don't recognize as a thing to begin with..) Now a couple weeks ago my doc told me that I'm in early perimenopause (I'm 35) which the peri symptoms are so similar to the PAWS symptoms so its impossible to tell which is which. I suffer from daily tension headaches for 5 years, bouts of anxiety/panic, insomnia, chronic muscle tension in my neck, shoulders, back and hips, painful lumpy breasts a couple weeks before my period (my doc said she believes i have fibrocystic breasts) now I've started getting a racing heart randomly in the mornings as soon as I stand up, throughout the day here and there, and some evenings too. I am exhausted and I'm only 35. I will never go on another SSRI or SNRI if you literally paid me. And birth control is too risky for me as I'm 35 and smoke. (Which I'm planning on quitting in the new year) So I don't know what to do about all of this. I'm a single mom, no family (my mom just suddenly passed recently and I have no siblings or other relatives at all), no car and I homeschool. I feel like giving up but I can't because of my child. I'm just ranting and letting a little steam out through my thumbs. If anyone has any advice at all I'm open to hear it and appreciate it as well. Xo

Menopause sucks!!! Dealing with the night sweats (only it's not just at night time when I'm in bed - i have these through the day. Usually when I'm out in public places a sudden hot rush will start at my midriff rising to my head where I'm burning hot and sweat running down my face and neck ruining my hair cos its drenched with sweat). Don't get me started on the mood swings I'm experiencing. If I'm not in floods of tears (over the silliest things) I'm 0 to 100 with rage and anger very embarrassing and draining having to apologize for my outbursts of sudden crying or anger and aggressive behavior . I'm not having heavy periods for days on end, at random times throughout the month (after having the merina iud inserted) so that's one less thing to worry about. I have been going through menopause the last few years now but will be glad when it's done and I'm not the moody temperamental monster I've turned into. Please tell me there's light at the end of this nightmare. Ladies any advice or tips on what you found helpful with the symptoms of menopause would be appreciated. TIA

@@april-tui3524 I went to them (by video call) in July 2020 and within days of starting treatment my flushes went then came back so my dose was adjusted and now I sleep all night my blood pressure is lower (to a normal level) my brain fog has cleared, I have regained muscle strength and lost weight cos I’m not comfort eating through anxiety and fatigue! Those are some of the visible symptoms but we can’t see the improvement to our internal organs but because my bones and muscles stay stronger I won’t have falls leading to broken bones and ongoing health problems so I can enjoy a better quality of life.

Yes please see your doctor's but mine was not able to help me when I was premenstrual and my heavy constant bleeding. I was desperate and come here to KZbin for some information. A lady on a video I watched said to take 2 full tbsp of organic black strap molasses. I was so desperate I went right out and got some. I had been bleeding for a month straight. I took 2 tbsps as soon as I got home and just like the woman said, it was gone by the next day. I shared this with a close friend and it lightened her flow considerably. It stopped with in a couple more days. I hope this will alsohelp some of you out there.

Vaginal moisturizer helped me a lot!!! Also, took medication for vaginitis due to PH imbalance by peri menopause. It has made so much difference in solving that problem with vaginal dryness. Also, don’t use fragrance vaginal cleanser when you shower. Buy fragrance free that comes with gentle ingredients. I like planted based or something with little bit of tea tree in it. Harsh ingredients can trigger itching and yeast infections. Avoid fragrance in intimate areas.

Mild earache and throat (thyroid) pain along with or while I have mild cramps 😬 could that be part of this process. I am 47 and am having these symptoms off and on and still have my menstrual cycle, it’s become irregular but every month still and very heavy. Can thyroid issues come up and inner ear pain? Please help!

[@AvogelCoUk]

Hi Celia Yes, thyroid issues are really common in the menopause but, unfortunately, often overlooked as a menopause symptom. If you are not on any thyroid medication, you may find taking a kelp supplement can be beneficial. Cramps can often be sorted quickly with a magnesium supplement, approx 200mg twice a day and earache may be helped with Plantago. www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/sea-kelp/ www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/plantago-lanceolata/ Best Wishes Eileen

Magnesium has so many benefits ! Dr. Axe here on KZbin has a video on the benefits of magnesium. Amd you can always do more research on the internet as well. And regarding caffeine it can actually cause anxiety in some people. Am kinda sensitive to caffeine , I noticed when I would have to much coffee I will get anxious! Caffeine makes anxiety worse. And of course our thoughts it's very important to pay close attention to what thoughts we entertain. Praying/ talking to Jesus and hearing what He has to say to us is a blessing . He cares for us and we matter to Him. You are all unique one of a kinda. So be You because no one else can be you only YOU. Blessings to you all. You are of value.

[@AvogelCoUk]

Hi Bonisha It is best to go back and see your doctor about this as there could be a number of reasons such as thyroid deterioration, low vitamin B12, Diabetes or even stress. Your doctor can do a proper examination to determine what is happening with you.

[@leyvamichelle]

YES, Thyroid Can and also cause premature menopause ok,,,Just go out for natural Cure now okay before it is too late for you,,Use AGBARA HERBAL DEEP ROOT CLEANSER or The Agbara herbal powder mix with Lime this will cure this problem very fast,,,,Early menopause usually refers to onset before age 45. Premature menopause or premature ovarian insufficiency occurs before age 40. Menopause occurs when your ovaries stop producing eggs, resulting in low estrogen levels. Estrogen is the hormone that controls the reproductive cycle.
