Have you been getting more headaches lately? Do you have other perimenopause symptoms? This may come as a surprise, but the two are actually connected. Headaches can be a symptom of perimenopause.
On the other hand, headaches are such a common complaint, how do you know if yours are related to perimenopause?
One way to find out is to consider if you have other perimenopause symptoms. There is a long list of possible perimenopause symptoms that you might have without realizing they are caused by your hormones. Like headaches, other symptoms may be vague or easily blamed on other causes. Are you having trouble thinking clearly because you didn’t sleep enough? Or is it because of your changing hormones?
Dr. Marina Rose, DC has helped women with perimenopause symptoms and people with other challenging, chronic health conditions in and around the city of Los Altos, CA.
Headaches are one of the later perimenopause symptoms that begin when estrogen levels decline. In the earlier phases of perimenopause, first progesterone, then testosterone levels drop, and finally estrogen, as Dr. Christiane Northrup also notes.
