Hi
Oh my where to start!! Grab a cuppa I could be some time.
June last yr, run down, ended up in hospital thinking I had had a heart attack, no it was a panic attack!! Days later heart palpitations, dizziness, sickness , feeling generally I'll. Docs did all tests nothing, weeks later still no improvement, crying, heart palpitations, anxiety. Anyway docs tried me on numerous, Anti depressants, betas, you name it I too k them nothing helped.
Changed doctor's, new doc put me on hrt gel and Utrogestan. Finally had some relief, then went had coil fitted, only in a MTH could not cope with anxiety. Now I'm back on Utrogestan which I take vaginally. Now though 5 MTHS in all symptoms are back
Hot sweats, crying, pains in joints anxiety. I have gone up to 2 pumps am and 2 pm, no one has checked my levels, I'm awaiting to see a Meno specialist as my doc has no clue. I am now on 2 0mg Fluxoteine to help has anyone any advice I'm so fed up, just want my life back xx

If you are using oestrogel check to see if you have been given oestrodose instead. Does the pump pack say oestrogel or is it a sticky label saying oestrogel. This happened to me.
During covid I couldn't get my usual hormone implant as outpatients was closed. I was put on Oestrogel. Worked fine.
Then suddenly it wasn't working. Did some research, scraped of the adhesive label to find it was Oestrodose. Lots of other women complaining of the same thing.
Oestrodose is a parallel import, like a generic medication or a fake handbag. Sometimes it can't be told apart, sometimes it is absolute shite.
I created a huge fuss, was given the real deal and after 3 weeks or so everything was back to normal.
This may be your issue. Let me know if that is the case. Good luck.

No it is Ostrogel xxx

How much can you up the dose of oestrogen by, have they said?
