Peri menopause - over heating help please !!!

[Paranoidmarvin]

I am peri menopausal. My worst symptom so far is just the over heating and hot flushes.
My general core body temperature is always just running hot. Like all the time.

I know HRT is an option but I want to try other things first. Short of walking around with my mini fan which I do all the time is there anything anyone takes that will help with this. Or is HRT my only option. I work In a huge old house on an estate. And quite rightly they have their heating on. But I am sweating and sweating all the time. The sore ness under my boobs is getting worse with the sweat.
I’m the only person walking around outside without a coat on.

Any natural remedies that I can try ?

I've been Menopace tablets (or the Asda own brand equivalent as they're much cheaper and do the same thing) as I also suffer with extreme hot flushes and generally being bloody boiling!

I've found that they do help a lot but if I take them in an evening, they do seem to affect my sleep.

@BarbaraStripeshand I will try them. How do they effect ur sleep. I don’t have great amounts of sleep anyway. But I would swap sleep for this hotness

I can't take HRT. My GP recommended evening primrose oil for the flushes.
Magnesium helps for sleep.

Drinking a big glass of cold water always helped me

• when I was overheating, obviously, not as a preemptive 'treatment'

@Paranoidmarvin - they make it harder for me to fall asleep. I'm sure I read that they should be taken before bed but when I swapped to taking them during the day, that seemed to improve. I know what you mean - I have a fan on my bedside cabinet and am always turning it on during the night. It's awful.

@MinnieMountain have they worked

Temperature-regulating clothes from HotSquash. Really helps me.
I saw on social media they're releasing PJs soon, can't wait!

Magnesium- yes. I'm down to one 4:30 wake up a week.
Evening primrose oil- I think so but my flushes haven't been too bad so far.
