Pressure raise on face - Menopause Message Board

Pika · 01-27-2007, 04:22 PM

I'm 48. I'm new here and my period has stopped for 2 months.

After eating, the food looks like stuck in my chest not tummy and the pressure raised straight to my head. I feel dizzy and short of breath. Is it meant "Hot Flash"? I'm unable to sit, I need to lay down. That bad!

I also told have diabetic, high cholesterol, reflux and anemia. I don't know that's belong to menopause symptom or other?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Pika, Have you had your thyroid tested lately to make sure you are in the NORMAL range!!

I have been told that I have have Autoimmune premature ovarian failure I am 41 years old and have under-active thyroid hashi's I think we do seem to get a lot of problems going on when we have thyroid problems!!

I also have inflammation of the duodenum ...I hope you start to feel better soon hun take care ...Mandy

Hi Mandy,

We met in the other board. I'd my thyroid test done few times. It all turns up in the normal range.

I've my gastroscopy and colonoscopy done two weeks ago. Colonoscopy turned up very normal. No polyp, no bisopy pretty like a clear white paper. Thanks, huh.... she didn't poke a hole there! I still have pain after the colonscopy..... mild not severe.

Gastroscopy found some reflux. She put me on Nexium 40mg twice a day for 2 months. Was mild, now is very bad and she asked the receiptionist called me. She told me to take 2 tablets each time if bad....

I've a lot of sweating as well. Would menopause cause it too or my heart, diabetic or anemia? I'm very confused... Diabetic Dr said, if I feel sweaty, dizziness and hungry then I can take some sweets. I always feel those except hungry so do I need to take some sweets all the time? What's wrong with me?

It is very hard that the country which I live now, they didn't have a doctor who can put all the puzzles in one picture. Same as this board, they not allow to post out of topic. But I really don't know which topic that I can fit in and which I belong to.....

Thanks, Mandy.
