It’s been nearly 4 years since my last period. Over the last few weeks I’ve noticed the hot sweats are back and very bad nausea and dizziness during the night. Is this normal. What would you suggest I take for it?

No, this is not normal and probably not linked to the menopause.

It could be due to a fall in your blood pressure, anaemia, a thyroid imbalance, a vitamin D deficiency - allsorts of possibilities, and you will need to get the doctor onto the job of checking out which is the cause.

Once we know the cause I can advise on the best way to tackle it.
