Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The symptoms you have been describing appears to symptoms associated with menopause, considering your age.
It would be better for you to undertake hormonal levels checked in your blood sample.
Kindly consult Gynecologist with the report for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
You may be tried with conservative management first. Depending on the response, a call may need to be taken regarding institution of hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Hope the information provided above would be helpful.
In case of any other queries, please feel free to write back.
Wishing you a good health ahead.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.
