Breathing Question?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Mon Oct 27, 2008 9:14 am

Thank you for your replies everyone. Gale you know I never put two and two together but you may be right about the menopause being more of the problem than the anxiety. I started getting early signs of menopause in 1999 or 2000 with the hot flashes, changes in my monthly cycle, and mood swings. The hotflashes have gotten much worse as well as the mood swings but my monthly has basically same thing as ceased. I have watched various shows and read things that menopause can cause a whole lot of the same symptoms I have been having that I have been blaming on the anxiety/panic attacks. I am now wondering if this vicious cycle actually started with the menopausal symptoms and has been the majority of my problems. I will have to do some googling to see what I can find out. Thank you for opening my eyes to the similarities between the menopause and anxiety attacks.

God bless,
Susan

Susan,I am so glad that maybe something I said may have shed a bit of insight for you. Truly everything you've been describing sounded like classic menopausal symptoms to me,but not knowing your age, I wasn't sure whether or not that could possibly be the reason for your symptoms. Like you,as I began having symptoms I read everything I could get my hands on about menopause and I found it very helpful.Take good care and God bless you too my dear!
