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.
Falling oestrogen just before a period can trigger panic-like attacks such as you are experiencing, this can be quite common as you approach the menopause.
In our view the average age to start the approach of the menopause is 45-55 and you do not necessarily have to have flushes!
You may find Menopause Support helpful as this is traditionally used to help gently balance oestrogen and also contains magnesium which is needed to help support the nervous system at this time, and may also help with the pre-menstrual feelings.
