Am I going through menopause?
-
i, Im 53 and having hot flashes, and night sweats. I need to sleep most nights with a fan beside my bed, and I suddenly waken out of my sleep and have trouble getting back to sleep again. now I think I may have been perimenopausal. My periods where always regular but then changed to very irregular and eventually very heavy but havent had a period now for 13 months. Am I going through menopause.

@marynn I am 57 started having trouble sleeping missed a few periods that was ok.. till the sweats started ..all day long ..I went to my GP he sent me for blood work and he said my hormone levels where really low he put me on HRT.. the sweats stopped but the sleeping problem I still have. this was five years ago .I went through some bad stuff over the last year the doctor said I had anxiety he put me on antidepressants which made me feel worse so I came off them .I am going back to see him soon as I know I need something to help me sleep I have been told all women go through the menopause differently.
