background

I am 53 and have been on a Mirena coil for a number of years. I've not had a period since and can't say I've felt any other menstrual type symptoms in this time, either. I am happy in my life although have a lot of things to deal with like most people however, I seem to be in a pattern of getting quite stressed and have been drinking rather too much in the past year. It suddenly occurred to me, could it be menopause that is causing this anxiety. I really have no real reason to behave in this way. I wanted to know because of the lack of periods, there are no symptoms. When my mum went through her menopause her behaviour was a bit erratic until she went on HRT.
