Question:- I am 50 and have all of the normal symptoms. MY blood pressure is very normal to low sometimes. I have been having trouble getting a real good deep breath, almost seems like shortness of breath. Is this a symptom as well. I eat healthy and am not overweight.

Reply:- This is not a symptom of the menopause & it would be advisable to seek medical advice, have you been a smoker ?   if so a  daily supplement of Vitamin C is recommended to replace that lost by smoking,  Anaemia, caused by heavy periods may causes faintness ..Get your Haemoglobin …a simple blood test checked . A good intake of Iron in your diet or as a supplement would be beneficial
