How to deal with the night sweats??

I am 55 been going thru menopause since 46 I have very bad nights sweats I take estroven it works to a point also I have gained 50lbs and trying to get active and lose this weight anybody got advice

  1. I’m going through the same thing so I feel you. A fan by the bed and cutting back on wine and spicy food at night helped my night sweats a little. For the weight, I started with short walks after dinner and some light weights, slow but it adds up. Might be worth checking with your doctor again too since it’s been so long. You’re not alone!

  2. Night sweats and weight gain are two very common problems associated with menopause. I am so sorry you are impacted with both of them. Nearly 10 years is a long time to cope with these. Some ways to ease them are written about in this article. Have you spoken to your doctor about whether hormone replacement therapy or other medications might be useful for you? This article also lists some of the natural ways to address your symptoms. All the best, Kathy (Team member)
