Is nausea without hunger pains normal?Possibly related to perimenopause?
lise z asked:
I believe I am going thru peri-menopause, witch is bad enough, but over the last few weeks I’ve noticed that I don’t get hunger pains anymore, instead I feel like my blood sugar drops and I feel weak, food used to help, but lately, all it does is make the nasea worse for a short time, and then I get VERY tired.I’m only 36, I’ve had 5 pregnancies(2 miscarriages-3 healthy kids) I’ve had minor sleep disorder issues all my life, I’ve always been a bad eater, sometimes too much, sometimes not enough, I’ve worked graveyard shifts most of my life, (to avoid not working, and/or daycare costs)I don’t exercise enough, witch I am working on, because I just finished moveing from one state to another, I’ve had a stressfull life in general, but I have preety good copeing skills, and my life is the most stres free it’s ever been.I have not had insurance, or even seen a doctor in almost 10 years, (part of the reason I moved)I just wonder if the nasea thing is normal, or is there a way to reverse it?

The nausea you are experiencing is not normal and can be an indicator of something like endometriosis (an example only). The only way to know for sure is to see a doctor for further evaluation of the situation.
Because of your financial issue check to see if the city has a free health clinic where you can go to have this evaluated. If not, check with a Medical School that may be close by to see if they can help evaluate the situation further for you.
