Patient's question:
I am 46 years old, female, and recently it's possible that I am going through menopause. During my afternoon naps, I always experience the symptoms of neurasthenia and hot flashes again. What should I eat to help with insomnia during menopause?Doctor's answer:
According to your symptoms, it could be due to endocrine disorders caused by menopausal syndrome, leading to insomnia, frequent dreams, shortness of breath, and fatigue. In most cases, it is likely due to insufficient qi and blood. It is recommended that you take Xiao Yao Wan and An Shen Bu Nao Ye, which may be helpful. Pay attention to maintaining good rest habits and a healthy lifestyle, and engage in more outdoor activities to enhance blood circulation. Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain regular sleep schedules, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to improve immunity and prevent the recurrence of the condition.
