I'm getting very tired. Is this normal?

The hormonal changes during the menopause put tremendous strain on the body, and this often leads to fatigue.

I would advise trying Menopause Support as this has been known to balance hormones and ease menopausal symptoms.

It is very important to look after yourself well at this time, and make sure that your nutritional needs are being met. Check your diet and make sure that you are eating plenty of fresh foods and lots of water - dehydration can cause fatigue and if you are getting hot flushes, it's doubly important to keep drinking!

Rest and relaxation are vital, and I know it can be very difficult if you lead a busy life, but do make 30 min a day your me-time - this can reduce symptoms very quickly! 

However, these symptoms can also be caused by other factors such as low iron or low thyroid, so it would be a good idea to ask your doctor to test for these just to rule them out.
