This is a very touchy subject for me.

I'm glad you are getting a physical. While it could be peri-menopause it could also be something else.

2 years ago I had some similar symptoms but also had uncontrollable bleeding (puddles upon standing) when those periods did come. I had a fibroid tumor the size of a basketball. I had it removed and all was well and then this past year I began to have some scary symptoms like heart palpitations and being seriously dizzy etc. Turns out they are hot flashes that are more intense due to the sudden hormonal disruption caused by my surgery. They are horrible and my doctor did some bloodwork (and heart stuff) confirming I am indeed heading into menopause. I'm having issues with it as I am also having my last birthday this year (39).
