I'm 48. I got a Mirena coil last year and feel a lot better, but I have a lot of perimenopause symptoms (anxiety, brain fog) that I thought might be helped with HRT.
My lovely GP agreed and gave me the Oestrogen gel, and told me to follow the instructions on the packet and come back in 3 months.
The instructions don't say how much to use but the leaflet says the usual dose is 2 pumps a day. I've done that since Saturday, but I've noticed I've had mad fluttery/thumpy palpitations! Like a kind of rolling thump in the top of my chest.
I should just stop using it, right? I know I need to go back to the GP but appointments are INSANELY hard to get, especially with him.
Should I just stop? Try a lower dose?
My symptoms aren't bad enough to risk a heart attack 😆 but I don't want to lose the chance to find out if I could be feeling amazing on HRT.
Anyone else had this? Any advice? Thanks
