Hi, I agree with Veronica, when the hormones kick in it can be more difficult to deal with anxiety symptoms, without a doubt:yahoo: I'm going through this myself at the moment but I'm managing to sort of cope. I sort of feel up n down from day to day!! I don't know why your doctor is:hugs: telling you you're too young? 48 is a pretty average age for the menopause. Also, blood tests aren't always accurate in predicting hormone levels. It's a shame you are feeling like this. Can you see another doctor at the practise?
