background

I don't get hot flushes but a week before my period I get funny feelings several times a day. I can't describe them, all I can say is I feel very scared and I feel as though I am going to pass out. It feels like I am going into a nightmare. I will be 47 next month. My doctor has said that I am not going through the menopause as I am too young and I'm not having flushes. I have another appointment with a different doctor tomorrow. These feeling are starting to control how I live my life. I hope you can help.

You won’t get the menopause the minute you turn 50! The average starting age is actually between 45 and 55 and it can often depend on a number of factors including hereditary, weight and health, however every single woman will have an individual menopause.
