What medications should women in menopause take for insomnia?

Patient's question:

Since November 2013 to the present, initially there was a sensation of choking in the throat, which did not affect eating. In April 2014, there was still a sensation of choking in the throat and difficulty breathing. Now, headaches and stomach pain have also appeared, along with insomnia and frequent dreams. Without sedatives, sleep is difficult to achieve.

Doctor's answer:

Understanding that menopausal insomnia is related to changes in estrogen levels: hormone therapy is effective for some people, but the risks are high. If insomnia is severe, it is recommended to take the "Miyan Gengmifu Set." How to treat menopausal insomnia, pay attention to diet: do not use alcohol to help sleep. Especially in the afternoon or evening. Daily, you can choose foods that promote sleep: for example, eating 3 to 4 pieces of Duanju tablets half an hour before bed is very helpful for sleep. It is best not to take sleeping pills. Pay attention to keeping warm, and wish you good health.
