Been having health issues on and off now for a year, definitely perimenopausal.

Main symptoms are, increased anxiety (for no reason) for things I normally do without thinking. Also on and off dizziness, feeling disoriented (at times), jittery, headachey, neck ache and really dry eyes which go very red.

My blood pressure keeps spiking up when I feel bad and I feel funny in my arms and legs, especially in crowded places or noisy places or in the sun/heat.

Started HRT in the end but no real benefit as symptoms the same. Had blood tests x 2- nothing significant. Head scan ok.

Should I request any further tests eg more in depth bloods? Or try meds for stress/anxiety or blood pressure?

Starting to really struggle at work with fatigue and jittering but also ok at times.

My sister was feeling all of these symptoms and it turned out to be fibromyalgia. Not saying that's what you have but it could be an underlying issue. She had to go private for answers right enough. Good luck 🤞
