hi trish it sounds like your going thru the same as me my blood results were premenopausal and the hot flushes were making my heart rate really bad to the point were i was rushed to hospital with an expected heart attack it was ther when they told me i was premenopausal and was givin a diet sheet and was told to pack in the ciggerettes they said once id changed my diet the hot flushes would ease off a little anyway i did try and change but soon went back to my old habbits its so hard to change anyway hun i hope you feel better knowing your not on your own with these dreadful symptoms are u taken anythink for the hot flushes

I really do think anxiety gets worse when you go through the menopause. I'm now 52 and started going through the menopause when I was 47 and my anxiety and depression definately got worse around that time.

Not particularly, I do feel a bit hotter with a bit of sweat in my face about 35% of the time when I have panic attacks. It's odd because it seems to happen when I have a fear I'm just going to loose my temper for no reason, even without anything making me feel tempermental, and since you do go read and sweaty when you have a tentrum or something it must explain why I occasionly sweat, or blush a bit when I get a panic attack. I guess I wouldn't count myself actually have hot flashes though.

Hi Im 47 and started menopause a few years ago and YES hot flushes can trigger a panic attack in me as I panic that Im going to faint and feel dizzy and cant breathe - in fa ct any hot shop or place where it is stuffy has the same effect. Wenjoy x
