Anyone here have these really wierd symptoms? I have internal shakes upon waking up at night with heart rate up and sometimes short of breath. Could this be hot flashes? I get weak in the legs too. I have been to cardio doc but only diagnosed with unknown arrythmia/palps. He said not to worry about them. I also get cold chills out of the blue and sometimes dizzy for no reason. My anxiety is out of sight. It is driving me crazy! Can anyone relate?

misstlynn, I can relate. I have had the internal shaking for a couple years at least and found no answer yet. I have hot flashes, cold spells, off balance (dizzy), worry all the time, and anxiety (used to be panic attacks.) I started taking fish, flax, and borage softgels everyday a few years ago and that helped my anxiety and panic attacks a lot but as for the other issues they come and go. It helps to know I am not alone and this to shall pass, hang in there and take care.

Hi friends,

I have all of those symptoms too.

I also have problems with nausea and colicky type abdominal pain. My Drs can't seem to find anything.

Anyone else with upset stomach?

Chantal

I also am very depressed. I really have no support system.

It sounds like night time panic attacks - or panic episodes anyway. Waking up with a fast heart rate, short of breath, weak in the legs, feelings of anxiety or fear spell panic to me. Have you had trouble with anxiety or panic otherwise?

Thanks for the replies everyone. I have had anxiety since I was a teenager. I am 48 now. I have not had the type of waves of anxiety that come over me now. It just washes over me and then sometimes afterwards, I get nausea and weak legs. I was wondering if this could be some sort of hot flash. I can't figure it out. I take fish oil caps but only one a day. Does taking more help? I tried flax oil but it thinned my blood. I was coping with things better several months ago but now things are kind of crazy! Do the symptoms get better once you are through menopause? I really hope so!!!
