Sweats And Tiredness

[smurfchops]

Hot sweats in daytime, head and upper body. Don’t last long then feel ok again. Also feeling very tired. Very post menopausal ! And have always had sweats at night since menopause but not in daytime. HCan’t get a blood test as a vial shortage ! Any ideas? Thanks all.

...no sensible idea.
Could be many things but no big deal.
Wait for blood tests.

Have you tried to get a blood test?
I had one a few days ago, no shortage of vials at my surgery.
Can you speak to your GP on the phone?

How long is ‘very’ post menopausal?
In my, and many of my friends, experience, the sweats, flushes, tiredness, lots of other symptoms, can return many times over a number of years and bite you in the bum just when you think it’s all finally done and dusted.
And even throw new ones at you.

Rang surgery, no vials, can’t get a blood test…. Menopause 20 years ago! As long as it’s no big deal, thanks all.

Smurf, I’m 17 years post menopausal and still get hot flushes occasionally which start at my chest and radiate up through my neck to my face and head. I also still get heart palpitations, which come and go for months at a time.
I’ve never had a blood test, or considered having one, in relation to this.

Angus that sounds like me except no heart palpitations. Wondered if the tiredness as well meant something x

Angus ? Vagus …. Sorry spellcheck

smurfchops Exactly what's been happening to me (I'm just over 20 yrs. post-menopause). It goes away until you think you are OK - then back it comes and I've been so very tired, slightly depressed and completely lost my appetite. Had blood test - says my vitamin levels are down and I've to have another mid-Sept. if they have any vials. Good luck to you
