Hello
Welcome to HCM
Night sweats, mood swings are commonly seen in severe anxiety. In middle aged females mainly in 40-50 years of age pre menopausal syndrome may be the main reason of such symptoms. Females suffer night sweats, hot flushes, mood swings, low mood, crying spells. These symptoms occur due to change in hormonal levels in a female of menopausal age.
You have many aggravating factors also like stressful job, loss of close relatives, deterioration of your mothers health etc. You are a single parent which also increases the risk. All these factors are further increasing your depression and anxiety. I would advise you to consult a good Psychiatrist for proper management of these symptoms.
- Start exercise daily. Practice yoga and meditation. These things will help in keeping you calm.
- Take balanced food and plenty of water.
- Decrease the intake of dark chocolates and coffee. Avoid smoking and alcohol.
- Medicines like SSRIs and SNRIs can be used in such symptoms. Consult a psychiatrist for proper prescription.
Thanks
