Patient's question:
My mom is 46 years old and entered menopause last year. Since then, she has often suffered from neurasthenia, frequent dreams, heart palpitations, and felt generally uncomfortable with pain all over her body. However, she has been to the hospital for detailed check-ups five or six times and has taken some traditional Chinese medicine pills, but it hasn't been effective. Sometimes, she manages to fall asleep at night, but when she wakes up, she feels sluggish. Last night, she suddenly woke up at 4 a.m. with cold hands and feet and some muscle twitching. She felt cold all over her body and thought she might be a little hungry. After drinking some hot water and eating some cookies, she felt better. What is going on? Is it really hunger that is causing it, or are these symptoms of menopause? Or what else could it be? Because I am studying abroad, and my dad often travels to other cities for training. Mom has temporarily stopped training as well. Her life might be quite monotonous, and she misses me every day. She also hopes that my dad can spend more time with her. Whenever she thinks about me and my dad being alone, she starts crying.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your mother is experiencing clear symptoms of menopausal syndrome, and this age is also the peak period for this condition. It is a series of symptoms caused by the rise in estrogen levels. You can take Menopausal Comfort or Menopausal Peace to regulate your health. Maintain a regular lifestyle, pay attention to balancing work and rest, ensure sufficient deep sleep, but avoid excessive bed rest. When your body is still in good condition, actively manage tasks you can handle, such as training and household chores, or participate in some beneficial physical and cultural activities and social events, like practicing Qigong and Tai Chi, to enrich your spiritual life and enhance your physical fitness.
