I have symptoms of both anxiety panic attacks and premenopause. How can i figure out which one i have?
my symptoms are: anxiety, not being able to sleep late at night, nausea, wanting to be outside in the fresh air, rational thoughts. Has anybody ever heard lydia pinkham herbal tablets (they say it’s good for menstruation and menopause?) By the way I am 37 years old.

You can talk to your doctor for a proper diagnosis. I had my first panic attack when I was 37. It scared the crap out of me! I didn’t know what was happening, but I thought I was dying. Both my general practitioner and ob/gyn diagnosed anxiety attacks. Both said that it is very commom at this age. I found relief in zoloft. It has been over 4 years, and I still take it. The side effects were temporary, and completely tolerable. I work full time, and am able to enjoy a normal life with my husband and children. I have never tried those tablets, but I have tried self help books, tapes, tea, etc. I have found that exercise really helps me. When I feel an onsetof an attack, I will do tasks like clean floors, fold clothes, re-arrange drawers, or anything that doesn’t require a lot of concentration until it subsides.
I would also consider consulting your docter if you haven’t already. The symptoms can be very similar.
How long have you suffered from Anxiety as if you have suffered a long time then it would point to the symptoms being anxiety rather than premenopause.
Also what brings the symptoms on? Finding this out will help you to understand what the symptoms are in relation too!
