Im in my mid 40s and my periods have been all over the place lately. Now im getting nausea and tiredness too and honestly cant tell if its the change or something else. Has anyone been confused between the two?
Yes they can overlap, both cause missed periods, mood swings and tiredness. So its easy to confuse them. If theres any chance of pregnancy take a test, otherwise see your gynac to know whats going on.
My doctor explained both involve fluctuating hormones, so symptoms like hot flashes, missed periods and mood changes can mimic each other. A blood test can check both. Dont guess, get it confirmed properly.
They do share many symptoms dear, which confuses a lot of women. The simplest step is a pregnancy test first to rule it out. Then a doctor can guide you about whats really happening.
