Do you think perimenopause symptoms are just hot flashes and night sweats? Your shifting hormone levels can do a lot more than make you flash.
There is a surprising variety of perimenopause symptoms, but since you actually have estrogen receptors spread through your entire body, the effects of perimenopause are more widespread than we usually think. Aside from the more common perimenopause symptoms, some women might also have:
- Rapid heart rate
- Itchy, crawly feeling skin
- Muscle tension
- Nausea and digestive upset
- Joint pain
- Burning tongue
- Dizziness or difficulty with balance
- Tingling in the extremities
- Acne
- Chest pain
Many of these issues can stem from other health conditions, so it’s important to have them checked out. But, all of these unusual symptoms have been reported to occur with other perimenopause symptoms. The common factor is hormone imbalance, which can be a sign of adrenal fatigue, as Dr. Christiane Northrup also notes.
Dr. Marina Rose uses a Functional Nutrition approach to help women balance their hormones and stop the symptoms. She has helped women around the city of Sunnyvale, CA and across the country.
If you think you have perimenopause symptoms, relaxation techniques and getting plenty of sleep are great ways to start lowering your stress to help your adrenal glands recover. Adrenal fatigue responds very well to a targeted nutritional approach. Ask your doctor for an Adrenal Stress Index test.
