Suffers Major Weight Gain, Chronic Sleeplessness, Bloating, Hot Flashes. Any Suggestions ?
My wife is 51 yrs old. She has suffered from major weight gain, chronic sleeplessness, bloating and multiple hot flashes in the past 1 1/2 yrs. It has negatively effected most every aspect of her life. She has tried numerous natural remedies, but to no avail. We are not fans of medical hormone therapy because of the risks involved. Any suggestions? Desperate!
Welcome to HCM. These all symptoms are due to her menopausal phase. If don't want hormone therapy than just reassure her daily,make her positive with joyful living,playing music,go for walk in the garden and do activity which she like the most. Go for investigations like thyroid profile,fbs,ppbs,CBC,B12,Calcium,d3. Rule out hypothyroid because she is having weight gain history. Start haemitics,B12 and calcium supplement. Now a days low dose hormone therapy is available with minimal side effect.I think you should consult your gynecologist and take guidance for it.
