Perimenopause Anxiety in the Morning
Anxiety is one of the most common Perimenopause and menopause symptoms and many women find that they often experience it first thing in the morning before they even get out of bed.
Why are my menopause symptoms worse in the morning?
Generally speaking, levels of cortisol, your stress hormone, are higher in the morning to rouse you from sleep.

In this episode we meet Barbara. Her intense introduction to menopause came when she experienced a powerful hot flash while in a gondola going skiing. She didn’t understand what was happening so the episode triggered an intense panic attack that resulted in a claustrophobic sensation, one that stayed with her long after the gondola ride ended.
Barbara experienced other impacts over time, including heavy bleeding with clots that restricted her from leaving the house. The bleeding led to profound exhaustion until she took iron infusions that immediately restored her energy. Several years later, Barbara started to experience severe generalized anxiety, even though logically she knew there was no cause to worry. Given her work with Herstasis, she was now able to identify that this was probably a symptom of perimenopause. She was luckier than many women in that the nurse practitioner immediately prescribed her an oral menopause hormone therapy (MHT). This resolved the anxiety and left grateful that she had a young, educated healthcare provider who was up-to-date on the best treatments, as this isn’t the case for many women.

Hormone Replacement Therapy [HRT]
Hormone therapy is an excellent therapy for the treatment of many women’s menopausal transition symptoms. Hormone therapy (HT), also known as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), is the delivery of a specific hormone into the body to decrease the intensity of certain menopause transition symptoms and to prevent health complications which can be related to hormonal changes. Hormones are the chemical messengers in the body that regulate many bodily functions.
