there has been loads of messages about this subject in the past ( you may have to go back to ones from last year ), and it would seem to be quite common for anxiety to be linked with changes in hormone levels, period times or menopause are the most common. I've read loads about it in relation to the menopause and papers seem to suggest a direct link between the two. I'm now on HRT and have almost been panic free since I first starting taking it. See if you can find the previous messages, or just put panic / hormone into google and see what it comes up with. Good luck ! I found it a fascinating subject to research !!
Hi Jo, My hormones affect my anxiety levels too. I got off the pill and became more anxious, so i started taking it again. Adrenaline after all is a hormone, which gives us the physical symptoms of anxeity. Definitetly talk to your doctor!
Hi Jo,
I have the same problem as you and would really recommend talking to your doctor about your blood sugar. I had really low blood sugar and it just makes your anxiety symptoms that much worse! Try eating small snacks every 2 hours instead of big meals and see if that helps the tremours. It has really made a big difference in my life. Best of luck to you!
hi JO SHEW IM GLAD YOU MENTIONED THIS I HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE I START TO FEEL BAD A WEEK BEFORE I ALWAS KNOW WHEN IM GOING TO START IM NOT SURE IF IT IS THE THOUGHT THAT I JUST DONT FEEL GOOD OR OR WHAT BUT ALSO OF COURSE IM NO DOCTOR BUT I KNOW WHITH ME THAT MY BLOOD SUGAR HAS ALOT TO DO WITH THE WAY I FEEL IT SEEMS TO ACT UP AROUND THIS TIME OF MONTH ALSO SO YOU MAY WANT TO GO HAVE YOUR SUGAR CHECKED I HAVE LOW BLOOD SUGAR AND WHEN IT STARTS ACTING UP IT FEELS THE SAME AS WHEN MY PANIC STARTS SO YOU MAY WANT O KEEP A CHECK ON IT A COUPLE MTHS THEN GO TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT YOUR CONCERNS GAL
Jo,
Try using the Panic Diary or keep a journal. Once you have written down your anxiety and thoughts through out the month, take a copy to your doctor. This may better assess the situation and help pinpoint if this indeed is the case.
Keep Strong,
Josie
