Suffering From Postmenopausal Mid Cycle Stress And Bed Wetting, I Have Started Trying Progesterone Cream
I am 44 years old, have been under a tremendous level of stress, am midcycle and have been emotionally burned out for quite a while now due to circumstances in family. I take Sectral for sinus node dysfunction and also have afib. In the past 5 months I have wet the bed twice which is embarrassing. It s usually during this midweek of emotional imbalance-as things are starting to level off-and I m exhausted. I find myself in a deep sleep, dream I am in the restroom and...well, the obvious occurs. Is this par for the course with perimenopause, is it all stress, a combination, or something else? I ve started trying progesterone cream and it seems to help the emotional thing but this is embarrassing. Ideas?

welcome to healthcaremagic
for your emotional stress it will be helpful to have consultation and counselling with psychiatrist
the medicine you are taking sectral some times may cause anxiety as side effects aggravating your emotional condition
this medicine can cause dreams and nocturia also
you should discuss your problems with you r doctor and may be the medicine can be changed
you m\should consult gynaecologist for your menstrual problems
make it practice not to take much liquids 2 to 3 hrs before going to bed
and void your bladder before going to bed
and in between in the night if you wake up void your bladder
you can use adult diaper for time being during bed time till your problem is solved
