The menopause is much more than hot flushes. Some symptoms are not nearly as well known and can cause women to have health anxiety and fears - such as thinking brain fog were the early sign of dementia. Here's a click through showing some of the lesser known symptoms. Do any of these seem familiar? #menopause #menopauseatwork #menopauasematters

Let's talk about anxiety, menopause and work. Anxiety is an unpleasant & common symptom in menopause. It can creep up slowly or hit you suddenly and leaves you feeling fearful, tense and overwhelmed. Physical symptoms associated with anxiety include an elevated heart rate, heart palpitations, shaking, chest pains, sweating and feelings of nausea. At its extreme, anxiety can become a panic attack. These symptoms can be scary and upsetting - causing even more anxiety. One of the places this shows up for women is at work. Women who had previously been more than capable of handling stressful work situations are considering taking a step back, reducing their hours and even giving up because they are experiencing overwhelming symptoms such as anxiety. Other women find they are more anxious driving and commuting. It doesn't have to be this way and there are solutions. What are the causes? There are many causes of menopausal anxiety. One is the link between oestrogen levels and serotonin, another is that between progesterone and GABA (which calms the brain reducing overthinking and worry). Too much cortisol can make us anxious too. What are the solutions? For many women, HRT can resolve symptoms. If you can't take HRT there are other levers we can pull to help you support your GABA and cortisol levels. Our testing kits will show us what is happening in your body.   Self help really can play a role in alleviating some symptoms. Some women find that breathwork can help. Making sure you have a daily walk (when it finally stops raining) - it's worth making that kind of exercise a non negotiable commitment. If you are struggling with feelings of anxiety and would like to talk more about how our tests can help you understand what's happening in your body - book a 30 minute free consultation (no obligation) with one of our experts.

This is something we hear a lot from our customers and one of the reasons we are so determined to help women understand the underlying causes of their symptoms - and more importantly - resolve them. "The mother-of-two was in her mid-40s when she first began experiencing symptoms of perimenopause. She suffered with night sweats, heart palpitations and migraines that left her feeling weak and lethargic. She struggled to focus at work, and dreaded attending the regular meetings that were part of her job as a recruitment specialist. "I lost all my confidence. I thought I wasn't good at anything," she says." https://lnkd.in/gJZHxFBs #menopauseatwork #menopause #menopausematters Victoria Keith-Roach
