Hot and cold flashes

[Itwasoverwhen]

Hot flashes have been happening for a month or so - just randomly feel like I’m standing in the sun, red faced, sweaty hot all over - lasts about 5 mins. Wake up at night with sweat beading down my chest, thighs and legs soaked, hair stuck to my neck.

Cold flashes started last week, cold chills through my bones, can’t get warm shivering horrible cold right inside my body,

Phone consultant with the doctor who asked me if I was stressed .

Said it couldn’t possibly be peri menopause as I’m only 37

So what could it bloody be?!

Periods have changed, they were always 27 days on the money.

About three months ago I randomly had a period at 15 days and they’ve been all over the place since then, anywhere from 24-32 days now

Have you recently had your vaccine?

Too many doctors clueless about peri. My symptoms started at 38.

Your symptoms whether peri or not might've been triggered by Covid or Long Covid. Not necessarily though. Peri can last up to ten years. Starting at 37 with perhaps full menopause at 47 not so unusual.

Both doses in January (NHS)

Are there blood tests for peri menopause?

I haven’t had covid
