hrt question

Hello all I had a hysterectomy about 4 years ago and my ovaries removed about a year ago. I was put on estratrace and had some issues with it and was switched to estradoil 1mg about 4 or 5 monthes ago, the last couple of monthes I have been fatigued, trouble sleeping ,and a fuzzy head , heart palapacations and some other symptoms. Recently I went to my primary dr for a physical and my pulse rate was high, been checked for thyroid function, ekg and some other tests everything came back normal so far, also the dr advised me to stop the HRT which I have done for a couple weeks now, so now its hot flashes as well, anyone have any suggestions thanks

Re: hrt question

It could be the different estrogens... Have you tried a patch or creams? Sometimes those are different than the pills.

Another thought is Cushings disease. It has a lot of those symptoms as well. It mimics a lot of different things - menopause, fibromylagia, PCOS... Google it and see if you have any other symptoms and then maybe see an endocrinologist vs a gyno. Just my thoughts. I wish you luck tho!
