Patient's question:
As people enter middle age, they often feel that their temperament changes frequently, leading to an indescribable discomfort. More often, they experience irritability and difficulty sleeping, often dozing off half-asleep, making nights particularly prone to restlessness and excessive thirst. They frequently argue with their husband over small matters. They would like to ask, what kind of health supplements should be taken during menopause?Doctor's answer:
During menopause, due to endocrine disorders, some women may experience a recurrence of symptoms such as flushing, vasospastic headaches, high blood pressure, dizziness, lightheadedness, and blurred vision. At times, they may also experience symptoms like neurasthenia, anxiety, depression, hyperesthesia, irritability, and episodic crying. Women in menopause often exhibit mental and neurological symptoms such as irritability, insomnia, headaches, memory loss, and unstable cardiovascular function. Therefore, it is recommended to consume more foods that stabilize the nervous system and cardiovascular health, such as sheep heart, pig heart, Chinese yam, jujubes, longans, mulberries, Fu Ling cakes, ginseng-jujube rice, and walnut porridge.
