My sister is going through menopause and is 40 years old. Do the usual symptoms include nausea?

Posted by Menopause on 21st, 2010


She felt faint the other day and has been having a lot of headaches, chills and sweats. Are these menopausal symptoms too?

The headaches, chills, and sweats could be symptoms of menopause but I have not heard of nausea being a symptom of menopause. I would recommend that she check with her doctor for further evaluation of the situation.

I am 51 years old and I believe I am going through Menopause. I am so hungry all of the time. I eat & eat.?

Kisses:)

Menopause Migraine Breaking The Cycle

Posted by Menopause on 11th, 2010

Hypnosis may be effective in relieving some menopause symptoms, but when it comes to treating and preventing menopause migraines, women who experience this unpleasant symptom will likely require other remedies.

Unfortunately, severe headaches and migraines are quite common in perimenopausal and menopausal women. A migraine is the wickedest form of a headache, and is one of the worst menopause symptoms that can be suffered. A migraine can be so painful and intense that it can incapacitate its victim and spoil days of their life at a time.

What causes migraines to occur during menopause?

Psychological Factors include: emotional distress; anxiety; stress; overworking; fatigue.

If these factors are allowed to spin out of control, it can cause chemical imbalances in your brain which can have an affect on the functioning of the body, resulting in a migraine. These migraines are generally brought on by stress and are often alleviated when stress is reduced.

Physical Factors include: hormone imbalance; medication; genetics.

Physical factors are far more likely to be the cause of a menopause migraine than psychological factors. The reason is because many believe the drop in estrogen hormone is the main culprit behind migraines and headaches. When hormones fluctuate they cause the brain’s blood vessels to overreact which can lead to a headache or migraine. Thus, as estrogen levels decline, it is a likely migraines will occur more frequently and with greater intensity.

What are the signs and symptoms of migraines?

Migraine with aura symptoms: The aura may begin anywhere from 15-60 minutes prior to the headache and cause -

? Visual distortion – IE zig zags, flashing light, color variations, complete loss of vision

? Pain around one eye that is accompanied by tingling or numbness in the surrounding area

Migraine without aura symptoms – This is the more common migraine experience and can cause -

? Unusual sensations
? Scalp tenderness
? Irritability
? Double vision; blind spots; seeing zig zag; partial blindness in a single eye
? Dizziness or lightheadedness
? Nausea and/or vomiting
? Pounding or throbbing head pain
? Sensitivity to sound and/or light
? Paralysis on one side of the face

All symptoms generally subside after the cessation of the migraine. However sensitivity to sound and smell, and a feeling of weakness and loss of appetite, may linger during migraine recovery.

How long can a migraine last? Anywhere from a few hours (3 or more hours) to a few days (3 or more days)

How can you treat migraines?

? Medication – some over-the-counter medications can provide migraine relief. However, depending on the severity of the migraine, some women may require prescription pills. Furthermore, migraine medication should be taken when first signs appear. Usually, a fully developed migraine will not respond to medication.

Note: talk to your doctor about your migraines and ask for medication recommendation

? Solitude – Seek the quiet comfort of a dark, cool room, lie down, and close your eyes. You may also want to try relaxation or meditative techniques that focus your mind on a positive image or thought to help relieve pain.

How can you prevent menopause migraines?

Reduce stress – If you are overworked, anxious, or suffering emotional distress you need to find ways to alleviate stress. Take breaks and enjoy time to yourself – relax.

Exercise – Exercise helps improve circulation, mood and reduces stress. Walking, swimming, or engaging in Yoga, are ideas you can explore.

Watch your diet – make sure you are eating a healthy diet that includes plenty of water, fruits and vegetables. Limit your intake of caffeine, alcohol and preservative foods, all of which can contribute to migraines.

Get proper sleep – Restful sleep is important for bodily health and balance.

Hormonal therapy – If your menopause migraines are not stress related, ask your doctor about taking hormonal therapy to increase estrogen levels to achieve hormonal balance.

Could I be experiencing either pregnancy symptoms or menopause?

Posted by Menopause on 2nd, 2010

i’m 19 years old and I have a 1 year old daughter. I have been having hot flashes, moodiness, breast tenderness, breast leaking milk, cramps in the lower abdomen on the left side and middle, also frequent headaches, I can’t sleep at night. I haven’t started my period this month, it has been 6 days. I haven’t taken a htp yet. so do you think I could be pregnant or menopause??????

You’re 19, so chances are VERY slim that it’s menopause. Rarely some women have extremely early menopause. But yeah. Very, very slim. And menopause doesn’t cause your breasts to leak milk.
Sounds more in tune with pregnancy symptoms, but you’d have to take a test to be sure, obviously.

i went into menopause eight years ago, and i experience some changes lately. like headaches, insomnia.?

Posted by Menopause on 23rd, 2010

i also have some back pain, vericose veins in one leg, some weight gain, etc.
i decided to do some reasearch on hormone imbalance and found that many women become estrogen dominant as we age. which is the reason we females experience a host of problems even as early as in our late twenties. so i found that a progesterone cream is the best remedy to combat many of the negative symtoms that we experience as a result of aging.

has anyone tried this progesterone cream? and do you agree that such a treatment does work?,

please respond, i think i really need this.

Hi…. I have had ALL the symptoms you listed (and more) and they started for me at the age of 27 (I am 34 now). Mine grew sooo severe each year they were not addressed. I found my 14th doctor who is an ND …..a naturopathic doctor in Houston (www.hotzehwc.com) (they are everywhere). (first 13 were MDs and only wanted me on antidepressants)…

My body stopped making progesterone completely. My estrogen dominance was awful…etc…. I won’t give you all the sob stories….

So, yes, I tried the progesterone cream. Everyone always recommended the WalMart brand..it’s Rexall I think. And it did nothing for me. I understand doctors can prescribe it in higher strengths w/prescription….but my hormone imbalance was so severe that I actually have to TAKE natural progesterone pills every day. I used to do injections.

Try it…if it doens’t work…see if your doc will get you some stronger cream…if that doens’t work…do what I did…leave those white coats behind and find a good ND who truly will help you feel better! :) You deserve it!

Menopause & Enzyme Therapy Part 1

Posted by Menopause on 23rd, 2010

Menopause occurs as the ovaries stop producing estrogen, causing the reproductive system to gradually shut down. Technically, menopause refers to the cessation of menstruation (ovulation), as a natural part of a woman’s normal aging process. It is a time in a woman’s life when physical and psychological changes occur.
The average onset of menopause is 50.5 years of age. Hot flashes and night sweats can be symptoms of menopause and occur in approximately 70% of all menopausal women. Additional symptoms may include headaches, atrophic vaginitis, frequent urinary tract infections, forgetfulness, and cold hands and feet.
Psychological symptoms are often attributed to the menopause, but it is not clear whether these symptoms are caused by the lack of estrogen or are a reaction to the physical symptoms and the sleep disturbances caused by the night sweats. The most common symptoms are poor memory, poor concentration, tearfulness, anxiety, and loss of interest in sex.

if im going through menopause or premenopause will i have headaches and feel light headed?

Posted by Menopause on 14th, 2010


You might. Lots of symptoms, including joint pain and irritability.
I try to ignore them and tell myself this is the other end of puberty when I cried at the littlest thing. it’s a natural process. I’ve chosen not to take hormone replacement, but you might choose differently. The symptoms subside eventually.
