Hysterectomy 2016, kept my ovaries, started having flushes 2 years after that when I was 46, struggled on a bit, finally went on HRT patches 3 years ago. Also have an underactive thyroid which is medicated and have had my gallbladder out!

Past few weeks I have been struggling with acid reflux / indigestion, this is not something which has bothered me particularly in the past, was bad during first pregnancy although looking back that was more gallbladder related. Managed OK at the moment with over the counter antacids but it's a pain. Anything else I should be doing? I'm obviously going through a "bad" phase of menopause as I have had difficulty sleeping since Christmas and also have been very itchy.

Also to add - I never had health anxiety or any other anxiety before hitting menopause. But couldn't get to sleep last night for worrying about throat cancer.

Hey....I gather digestive problems are a peri thing and I'm suffering the same. Pain, indigestion etc. Had bloods which were fine but I've pushed for a scan as I'm fed up of every symptom being passed off as peri. Every week there seems to be a new symptom which goes. What sort of symptoms are you experiencing?
