Hi all
I'm new to MumsNet and I'm sorry this is a bit lengthy!
At a total loss here and hoping someone can help to reassure me.
I had my LG one year ago (she is my first child).
I have been breastfeeding her for the past year and my periods came back 6 months after giving birth.
I have suffered with heart palpitations and night sweats/daytime hot flushes ever since I gave birth but these symptoms have definitely increased since my periods returned.
My heart palpitations are definitely worse around the time of the month but do happen in-between also. I have seen on here in other threads that others are suffering with heart palpitations also so I am a bit reassured by this.
However, everything I read says that night sweats should stop by about 6 weeks after birth. I am 1 year after birth and my night sweats happen every single night to the point where I and my bed are drenched. I am also suffering with hot flushes during the day.
The docs have checked my thyroid, vitamin levels and a few other things and all come back normal.
They have now advised me to stop breastfeeding to see if this stops my palpitations and night sweats.
Is anyone else suffering with sweating so long after giving birth? I am honestly worried that there is something seriously wrong with me :/
