Premenopause06/18/2007 |
I am 33 years old and I am normaly always cold because of my rheumatoid arthritis and anemia. Lately I have been getting hot flashes where my face feels like I have a bad sunburn. I also have high blood pressure that I am taking two mendications for and has been stable for about a year now at 130/80. My periods have been strange for about two years now since I start takiing Arthotec and Prednisone for my RA. But right out of the blue I got these hot flashes. I got my thyroid check resently and it is normal Could I be going through premenopause at such a young age?
Check with your primary care physician and your gynecologist to be sure your symptoms are not a drug side effect and to have your "strange periods" evaluated.
