Cold Sweats - Menopause Message Board

Does anyone out there get cold sweats???? I had the weirdest "flash" of a cold sweat the other night, it lasted less than 5 minutes. I have never had this happen before and it scared me.....I got nauseated and had a rush of cold sweats and then it was over........Anyway, let me know if you have had this same thing happen....This perimenopause thing is making me crazier than I was before!!

CrazyLife414,

Yes, I used to have "cold flashes" before I upped my dosage of hormones. I think it's just one of those wonderful (ahem!) ways that the body has of attempting to cope when the hormones are going haywire.

Thanks Rheanna..I have to say that it really did scare me pretty badly because of everything that you hear about heart disease and heart attacks being different in women. I have had some of my friends say that it has happened to them too, but most of my friend do the "hot" sweat thing...I have not had those yet...

Anyway, thanks!

Hello! I am new to the boards and saw the cold sweat thing. I have cold flashes... I have never been one to be to cold, but it seems that I am continually having these. I do notice that when I am close to my cycle starting I have sweats... more of a clammy feeling.
I am needing a little encouragement today that I'm not losing it... I keep reading on the boards about women who have the jittery trembling thing.... this has been happening to me and it makes me feel so uneasy. It is so hard to concentrate on anything. I am 37 years old and have now seen 4 doctors. Had every test run and am as healthy as can be. (hormones, show that I am not in menopause, thyroid is fine) The idea of being in perimenopause has been dismissed by the doctors with them saying I am to young, and that there is no real way to know if that is what is going on. My mother was the same age as I am when she began having problems. When I compare my symptoms to that of perimenopause, they fit to a tee. I just wanted to know if any of you have had problems with getting a doctor to recognize your symptoms. I would so appreciate hearing from any of you!!
Thanks!

Hi T1988 and welcome

i had the exact same trouble with my GP,i have also seen many other Dr's including a neurologist,and all my tests came back clear,they included blood tests MRI,CT scans and spinal tap,this is all over the last 3 years it was'nt until last September(i think might have been October lol)when i went to visit my GP because i had missed 2 periods out of 5 that he said menopause,i dont think i am in meno as i have had periods since then but i am sure i am peri,the symptoms are all ther in black and white and you can't imagin you have a symptom you either do or you dont i think i have about 25-29 of them not all at the same time thankfully but they are all there,i think you know yourself and your body well enough to know what is going on you might try to print of the symptom list and take it with you on your next vist to your GP and state to Him/Her ***** ones you are experienceing that way they may be able to help. good luck to you
keep well
