60 seconds in menopause video transcript:
Is it normal to have panic attacks in the menopause? Yes! This is such a common symptom. It's such a horrible one to have to endure as well because you can be out and about doing anything and suddenly you get this rush of anxiety and panic.
Very often it's due to falling oestrogen having an impact on your nervous system. So, your nervous system gets extra jumpy, it starts tripping at the slightest little thing. So, you might be just thinking about what you've got to cook for your tea (dinner) tonight and your body thinks that this is a major emergency and you go into panic mode.
So, it's really important here: Look at calming remedies that are going to calm the nervous system down, remember your magnesium.
Dehydration and low blood sugars can also be a factor, so make sure that you're drinking plenty of water and that you are eating little and often.
