@lisee No worries, your periods will become irregular and you will have night sweats, palpitations to name a few during perimenopause. Annoying as they are, and exhausting as it can be not getting enough sleep and ignoring all the symptoms your body will be going through due to your fluctuating hormones, try not to feed into the anxiety. VERY DIFFICULT for some of us. I was prescribed a BC pill that levelled me out through that time and I never felt better, I transitioned to HRT once I did not get a period after 1 year. Talk to your doctor and see what you may have available to help you through this time. No need to suffer. Best of luck to you, this is a great forum, many ladies share their experiences and suggestions. Everyone is different in how to deal with it, but we all have shared these symptoms.
