Can these be menopause symptoms?
Kaytee asked:
My mom is 50 years old. Lately she started having hot flashes, sweating, insomnia, anxiety attacks and heart racing episodes. I checked online and found that those may be menopause symptoms, except for anxiety and heart racing. Can the latter two things also be menopause symptoms? Or is it something more serious? Are there any blood tests that she could take to confirm it is all due to menopause?

PS – she had a hysterectomy several years ago (ovaries still remaining after the surgery), thus she cannot tell whether her periods stopped.

The other menopause symptoms can sometimes cause the other things to happen, especially with the fluctuation of hormones. however without going to the doctor there is no way of knowing for sure, I am not sure about a blood test, but there are several hormonal tests they can do, my aunt went thru the change early and they monitored her hormones with urine testing….Hope this helps good luck!

It does sound like menopause, she should see her gyn to check, I am sure that they have tests they can do to check hormone levels or similar. My Mom went through it at that age a few years ago.
The anxiety and heart racing just might be stress induced – but see a doctor to make sure. That is also the age that women need to worry about cardiovascular health as well.

Create a video blog…instantly.
If it is menopause which it sounds like and she is at the right age check out this website. I have had great success with this product. You get to sleep have more energy the hot flashes start to disappear. Ovaries are usually left for the hormones. Check out this website and ask the site owner to answer your questions. I had a lady tell me that she didn’t realize how bad she was feeling until she started taking Max and she feels like she is 10 yrs younger with the energy she now has and the mental alertness the fog feeling has gone.
good luck and there is test for menopause but keep an eye on the heart racing is your mom getting excited over something that you can pin point. I wish you the best of luck and I hope the website will help your mom.

The last two things definitely CAN be menopause symptoms, don’t let anyone tell you differently..
Since she still has her ovaries, she can have her hormone levels checked with a blood test. If she’s not producing FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), that’s menopause.

She can get it checked. A woman is menopausal after her periods have stopped for one year. Menopause typically occurs in a woman’s late forties to early fifties. It is a normal part of aging, marking the end of a woman’s reproductive years.More information and remedies at
