I've always been phone to anxiety ,I'm now 50 and have noticed that my anxiety symptoms are getting more frequent particularly around my period however I'm now getting adrenaline bursts and even when calm anxiety attacks wash over me ,these are worrying me, could it be pituary problems etc if it was would the symptoms be constant? Would they show on blood tests ,ecg which I've had both of recently the blood test showed raised esr,crp and anaemia ,I'm feeling so scared and vulnerable got on the anx of anx cycle, I think if I can accept it's anxiety I may get some relief but how can I know?

I never had anxiety until I hit the menopause. The drop in hormones can have really strange effects on the body. And are well documented so you are not imaging things. It may be possible to get HRT which may help. Something to think about. A lot of women with similar problems are offered HRT or an AD. Please discuss with your doc but you are not alone with this.
