I am 54 and have started to have night sweats in last couple of months. I am not getting hot flushes during the day at the moment. I normally have really heavy bleeding for 2 days but this month I am 7 days late with period, which has not happened before. Do you think this is menopause symptoms?

This is a common scenario on the approach to the menopause, best thing to do is see your doctor, they can test your hormone levels and that will give you a better idea of what is happening.

In the meantime you may find Agnus castus helpful as this is traditionally used to help rebalance the monthly cycle and you may find taking a magnesium supplement with your evening meal helps with sleep/sweats.
