Sleep problems during menopause & nausea
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- This week it's question and answer time! For the first question, Eileen explains why sleepless nights are so common during the menopause, whilst the next question highlights a not so common symptom - nausea. My answers look to shed a little light on these two problems and offer my advice on what you can do to help yourself.
All I can say. Thank god Im not alone. If I was I’d truly believe I’m losing my mind. I have so many symptoms it’s insane. 😩
Sleeping problems, yep. But it is the brain fog that can throw me for a curve. I have such huge faux pars, at work too. And then I think to myself geez, oh my gosh.
And then there is always a work snake that mentions one of those mistakes ( a mistake that in no way messes anything up at work, just a stupid little one) right in front of the boss so the office snake can then later snicker about it.
How are you doimg now?
@@angelicaflores505 I’m doing so much better now. It’s amazing. I was told I’d see the light at the end if the tunnel. 2 years ago it was hard to imagine. I sleep well now. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. Got on cpap machine. No more night sweats. Nausea is rare now. All I can say is hang in there to people still experiencing these symptoms. This too shall pass 😊
@@jenniferwhalen9612 I'm currently experiencing insomnia and anxiety. I can't wait for this to be over with!
@@angelicaflores505 I take 500-1000 mg of magnesium oxide. I think it helps with anxiety.
I have sleep problems. Sometimes I really want to sleep but can't and my mind keeps wandering. Good job you're heaven sent.god bless you. I've been going to doctors doing lots of test but nothing.i thought being a woman was a good thing. I've being going through hell and nobody to talk to .good god its hardto bare.
Hi lyrikal marmalade

Dementrius Dotson I hate to admit this but I was suicidal and didn’t stop getting my period until I was 56 it was absolutely a nightmare. I wanted to die it is slightly better in menopause but nothing to celebrate.
How are you feeling now?

Thanks Madam for the information and how to ease the pain and the worst feeling of this period of life.
Hi Aurora
You're welcome!
thank you I was just listening to this and it has helped me I am suffering from a lot of nausea I started menopause about 2 years ago I am 47 but the nausea is just sickening I'm trying to drink a lot more water because I realize that my lips are chapped so I am probably very dehydrated as well thank you for the video
mary bohorquez I had that feeling of nausea too very recently.
I do feel very lazy in the mornings and sluggish. Can't sleep then at night.
How are you doing now? I have such horrible nausea.
Wow I wrote this 7 years ago when I was just starting menopause I am now 55 years old! I've been through the mill and back! But I am doing well lots of changes happened like losing my gallbladder. What I have learned is that diet is everything!! I take a lot of healthy supplements now for many reasons. And I'm doing well thank God
@@MyMaryleon are you postmenopausal now?
Very nice topic so much helpful info. My some symptoms comes and goes.
Thanks Tayyaba!
I had a heart attack on top of it all. I had one risk factor, high ldl. The hot flashes bother me at night. I already have anxiety, then I get dizzy and nausea, and cold flashes.. I am not allowed to take the supplements because of interactions with blood thinners. I take papaya enzyme and women probiotic and moisturizer.
May I suggest listing the supplements you recommend below the video? I think it would be very helpful...
Thank you for your info very intrested
Thank you Madame for the information very helpful me I'm always get depression stress strong headache
You're welcome Veronique, glad you found it helpful
I used to drink one cup of coffee each morning but I cannot any longer. Makes me feel so sick and dizzy

It feels like sea sickness

I drink lots of water and then it makes me run to the toilet and I don't have an ensuite.
am in my pre menopause.. i missed my periods only one month.. my stomach and my back really hurts. what shud i do? i feel i want to cry unnecesarily.
Grapes are nice. I have yogurt in the mornings or when I wake up.
Cacao powder is healthier than cocoa powder. A, not O.
But both of them have caffeine.
Very interesting.
I couldn't catch the name of the second supplement mentioned after phytoestrogens early in the video. It sounded like it started with D. About 2:37.
Hi Samantha
I think it was Dormeasan, we recommend this for sleep.

Hello, I just wanted to know what can I take I am feeling dizzy most of the time. Do I need to take more iron supplements since the doctor cannot do anything for me but give me dizzy pills and when I took them it did not work. Please tell me what should I do. When I eat liver that helped me fell a whole lot better. Should I eat sardines, and liver and other Iron dense food with loads of iron? I hope to hear from you soon. I have been having these dizziness for 4 months on and off for couple of hours on and off when I sit or stand. Thanks, littlesweetladies255

I am 76 and my doctor let me get back on PremPro 0.625/.25 but he is also weaning me off klonopin.......should I betaking PremPro at this age?....do you read these comments? The doctor who did this is not an OBGYN.
Hi Diane
I am really sorry but we are not allowed to comment on what your doctor may have prescribed for you. You would need to go back and ask them to explain further why they have put you on this. If you are worried then maybe ask to be referred to an OBGYN who may be able to give you better advice.

Apples or pears not grapes. Warmish water. Interesting!
Hrt has only sorted out the lubrication business down below . But my husband is dead and no new boyfriend would have me in this state - oh the irony !!
Sorry for you loss but your comment really made me laugh. Hope things have improved 🙏
OMG. That was so funny. Oh dear
GREAT 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈VIDEOS THANKS YOU ⚘.DAPHNE COTTON 💜...♥️🖤💚...● BROWN FAMILY.
I've tried the yoghurt & cocoa powder - its not good , lol
Can you tell me what to do i get dryskin and if i use any lotions it get worse idrink lots of water .
Hi Golin
You may find a supplement called Sea Buckthorn Oil capsules helpful as these are recommended for dry skin. Good to hear that you already drink plenty of plain water!

Thank for this video can low enerigy happen in menopousa? I am 58 and getting alots of dizzness weakness slow down in mood hotflashes will some one help me .
Hi Golin
The physical changes that can occur as hormones decrease in the menopause can use up a lot of energy often causing fatigue. It is really important that you get plenty of rest and relaxation to allow the body to adapt and re-energise. However, if the fatigue and dizziness is constant then this could indicate other health issues such as low iron, low thyroid function, low blood pressure, low vitamin D or B12. It may be a good idea to ask your doctor to test for these just to rule them out.

@@AvogelCoUk thank you for advise.
How about taking estrogen ?
We focus on natural remedies for the menopause so can't give any advice on taking HRT, sorry.

Yes, I do get very hot. I take off my nightie and turn off my electric blanket.
Off and on, all night long. Blanket on and off, all night long. Geez, I am surprised I get any kind of sleep sometimes. Going from freezing to burning up.
I get food cravings. It is almost like pregnancy in reverse
👍
What can we do for the nausea?
Hi Beth
I have posted a video blog solely on nausea so please do take a look. www.avogel.co.uk/health/menopause/videos/how-to-relieve-menopause-nausea/
Ginger tea is good for nausea. Even just having a ginger in your mouth. Take little bites
💛🥰
Since i menopaused at 50 now im 58.i feel all does symptoms feeling dizziness ./cold
sweating/lost appetite / trouble in sleeping/pls help
Hi Chona
If your symptoms haven't started to ease off or have got worse over the last few years then it is important to see your doctor. Other health issues can appear at this time such as low iron, low thyroid function, heart disease, high or low blood pressure, diabetes, low vitamin D or B12 and these can cause similar symptoms. Your doctor can test for these just to rule them out.
Best Wishes
Eileen
@@AvogelCoUk thanks for the reply and yes i do have high cholesterol and i have a maintenance for high blood pressure ..i just want the same energy
Hi Chona
You could look into the herb called Maca as this is often recommended for fatigue, low mood/anxiety and sleep.

I have all fiber bran cereal before bed... Is that ok Eileen
Cereals like this tend not to be the best food before bed, especially if there is also sugar in it as it can affect blood sugar levels quite quickly. However, if you mix with a little full fat Greek Yogurt instead of milk and add a few berries or chopped nuts and seeds this would be much better.
Cocoa
What did she say ? The first two things i repeated video 3x .

Good day, I have a worst Menopausal, I’m now thinking of quiting my job, every day I’m experiencing nausea 🤢 and head ache, awful feeling I also can’t drive a long distance, what should I do to lessen these awful feeling 😣
Hi Bina
Headaches and nausea can often be caused by dehydration and/or low blood sugar levels so it is important to drink plenty of plain water every day and eat little and often (but not high sugar foods!) Low magnesium can also be a factor too. However, headaches should always be investigated by your doctor in case it is not related to the menopause
