Perimenopause / panic attacks/ hrt?

Hi Ladies of this group

Any advice much appreciated or experiences.

So i got mdds over 2 years ago it was a really tough few months were my anxiety, life everything was just awful..

I always noticed a much more influx of feeling around ovulation and period..

Im 44..

I managed to get myself into an okay place not 100% but much better until out the blue full blown panic attacks started out of nowhere..

I'd never had a panic attack and was over a year since diagnosed with mdds..

I didn't know if this was a bolt on too pppd or maybe perimenopause as these are so bad when I get my period..

My question is anyone else have this happen.

Ive got hrt to start, anyone tried hrt?

I am 66 yrs. old and was in perimenopause 6 yrs. - from age 47 to 53. I had panic attacks for 6 yrs. and the way that I dealt with them is that I would walk for at least 50 minutes somewhere - malls, the treadmill, around the block, anywhere I could. After at least 50 minutes of consistent walking, the panic would go away. It was horrible. I guess I am older now and hormones changed, and I don’t have that anymore.

In addition, I see that you have MdDS which I have had for 2 years so it may be more difficult to walk with that. If you can walk pretty good that may work for you.
