Accepted Answer

Also: Get Eye Exam: Blurred vision can be a result of retinal vein occlusions that are increased in patients on oral Estrogens or birth control pills.  I would recommend a dilated retinal examination to evaluate for possibility of other causes of the blurring.  This should be combined with glycohemoglobin level, fasting blood glucose and also lipid panel and liver function tests.

Question 4

why do you have hot flushes after60?

Accepted Answer

Menopause: It's not the age, but the fact that estrogen levels fall with menopause, no matter what age that occurs. With a fall in estrogen levels you can experience changes in your body, including hot flashes, as well as bone loss, poor vaginal lubrication, etc. They usually resolve over time as the adrenal glands begin to produce some low levels of estrogen. Talk w/your doctor.

Hot flashes causes: Hot flashes can be caused by any number of hormone issues including Diabetes, Hyperthyroidism and Catecholamine "dumps" from an adrenal growth(pheochromocytoma). See a MD and get evaluated because GYN hormones are not the only causes.

And with a headache there is something going on.  It is not menopause.

Question 7

Hot flushes: I presume you are a woman and not a man.
Menopause can begin at age 45 and sometimes earlier and is accompanied often with hot flushes.

Your gynecologist will help you through this and you will feel fine again.

Question 8

having about 12 hot flushes a day. please help?

Accepted Answer

" hot flashes": At 53, hot flashes usually accompany the beginning of true menopause.  The average age for menopause is 54, but may be older in some women.  Ask your gyn physician about low dose oral bcp's, not for birth control, but for stopping ovarinan estrogen , and providing a low dose of estrogen which will not cause such extreme "hot flashes" (if no contraindications exist).
