menopause and nausea???? - Menopause Message Board

caiti · 05-24-2003, 12:35 PM

Before I run screaming back to a Dr who thinks I have suddenly become a hypochondriac. Does anyone else suffer nausea just before the night sweats start?
This has been going on for about 3 months. 2 or 3 times a week.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi Caiti
I have noticed the same nausea feeling too before I get the night sweats. I did take HRT for a short period but it didn't suit me, I'm on Fosomax (calcuim tablets) now but feel I'll go back to the HRT and find one that suits me. I'm concerned that fosomax mightn't be a good idea for me at an early age (i'm 36). Go to your GP and ask for your bloods to be tested. Good luck

I am 48, in full blown pre menopause and due to blood clots in my lungs when I was young cant have hrt. I have a wonderful man who has been researching progesteron and is wondering if it might help me to deal with some of the symptoms that hit when I am sleeping. To be honest it keeps us both up a lot.
Any help would be appreciated

Well, just to allow you not to think you're imaging things, I will say this. In pre-menopause, I didn'thave night sweats, but had the nausea. First it was mild and like morning sickness and came to a peak about nine months before I menopaused. I took Emetrol for the nausea which is a medication you take while you're feeling the nausea, a liquid.

Your hormones are changing over and I have read that it's the fluctuations in progesterone that cause the nausea. I had it off and on for four years prior to my menopause.Usually it was mild, but when it peaked, it was horrible.I didn't have bad hot flashes or night sweats but intermittant trouble falling asleep.
It's amazing how we all experience it differently.
Hope your symptoms subside really soon !

THANK YOU, THANK YOU Mrs. Kramden for your post! A have been lurking on the board for about a year...you all have helped me keep my sanity through a number of Emergency room visits and all the bells and whistles that go with meopause. I am 51, in the last year, my periods have been happening about 3-4 months apart (really, can we just get ON with it???!!). Have had the night sweats, fatigue but over the past couple of weeks have had nausea. It seems like my hormones start 'spiking" (my term, don't know what else to call it) now about every three or four months and my body goes crazy on me. AM going for my annual physical on Monday and will probably hear the same thing my doctor has been telling me for a year now, :You're not dying and you're not crazy...you're just menopausal"....Oh joy.

The only bright spot lately has been all of you helping me to keep my fragile grasp on sanity!
