Menopause syptoms awful day past two days
I'm just short 2 week post op from a total hysterctomy. Left hospital anemic (very low). Was feeling pretty good last week then all of a sudden felt awful (extreme weakness and fatigue, foggy head, loss of appetite, heart palpatations, shortness of breath. Got so scared I rushed to the Crucial care facility for them to tell me that I'm just weak and everything else is good. my anemia is even slightly better. So why do I feel so out of it at times? Is this all because of my being thrust into menopause. I have to admit i am afraid.

Re: Menopause syptoms awful day past two days
Sorry that you are going through this. I noticed that you had a total hysterectomy but did not notice if you kept your ovaries or not? I kept mine and think they're still "sleeping." I have been an emotional wreck today: I cried while watching Secret Millionaire this evening before the guy even handed out the donations! From my understanding, being tired can come from recovering. Our bodies are working double time, trying to heal. I hope you do feel better soon. I will be two weeks tomorrow and am looking forward to being fully recovered from my TAH.
Good luck and best wishes always

Re: Menopause syptoms awful day past two days
I am right there with ya!! Not so much the fatigue as the palpitations and anxiety. That is what is getting me worst right now. I see my doc tomorrow and I'm going ask him about it. I've read that magnesium and calcium would help with the palpitations so I'll be adding that to my regimen.

Re: Menopause syptoms awful day past two days
I will be 4wks post-op Tuesday. I had davinci with bso and started on premarin the day after surgery. I have been extremely emotional lately. I am normally not at all. I feel as though I'm someone else entirely. I've cried more in the past week than in the last few years put together.

Re: Menopause syptoms awful day past two days
A lot of your symptoms can merely be anemia. If you were severely anemic and now are just a little better, you are still severely anemic. Anemia can cause dizziness, weakness, fatigue, loss of appetite, brain fig, and heart palpitations.
It may not be menopause. It may be anemia or both.
And there is no need to be afraid. Just call your doctor. Have them test your hormones. If you need to take HRT, do that. If you need iron, take that.
I am taking Slow Fe because of severe anemia. I have the rapid heart rate, dizzness, cold, etc.
Hang in there.

I am on iron and my hemoglobin is 10 as of saturday. That's much better than when I was in the hospital. Thanks for the info. Hope you're better soon also. God's blessings on full recovery.
