Peri-menopause or thyroid

[menopausalmadam]

I am 50 and am pretty sure I'm peri-menopausal,
I don't have night sweats or insomnia but am freezing and can't sleep enough.
I have been researching and see that this is a common problem, having a thyroid issue and or either be peri-menopausal.
Any similar experiences?
I wasn't going to visit the doctor if I could cope ok with minor peri symptoms, but should I go and get checked for thyroid issues??

i would just go for a few blood tests, no harm done in checking, and ask for a copy of the results as your thyroid might be starting to fail and not yet out of normal range
