I am 50 and my period stopped about 4-5 years ago, but about 3 years ago I started feeling hot and cold, feverish, weak, hot at night and body pains, as if I had just came back from tropical country. Tests were done but nothing was found. Then I was tested for the menopause and it was deduced it could be the cause. Since then I keep getting these symptoms at least twice a year for two weeks or so, and I have to be off work. Is that how it is, and how long will it go on for?
Normally menopause symptoms are reasonably consistent, so having them only twice a year is unusual.
Is it the same time every year?
It could be due to stress or other external influences as these can trigger menopause symptoms.
I would suggest a good female multivit with extra magnesium and you may find acupuncture helpful, so it is worth looking into.
