Menopause Symptoms Changing Hair and Heart Palpitations

Thursday, August 26th, 2010 | Author: promensil1

Menopause is synonymous with hot flashes and night sweats; however there are dozens of lesser know symptoms that can be just as disruptive to a woman’s life. Heart palpitations are usually a sign of a serious problem, however during menopause they often become a harmless daily occurrence. Menopause encompasses a variety of symptoms so it is no surprise that every woman will experience menopause in a unique way.

Changes to Hair

As women get older, they begin to notice that hair products that worked in their twenties no longer have the same effect. This is because as hair follicles mature they begin to thin and dry out, making hair prone to breakage. Estrogen is responsible for encouraging hair to grow faster and thicker while staying on the hed longer. Alopecia, the thinning or loss of hair, often falls under two main categories that affect menopausal women: androgen and estrogen alopecia, both are directly linked to falling estrogen levels. However during androgen alopecia the hormone androgen, which encourages follicles to go into a “resting phase”, causing hair to grow thinner and thinner with each cycle which results in a lack of fullness. Medication and shampoo prescribed by a doctor can help thicken hair, however for less severe hair loss there are many solutions. Short, simple hairstyles prevent the breakdown of aging hair and layers help maintain the appearance of volume. Avoid hair dryers and straighteners that can damage hair, as well as dyes, tints and bleaches.

Heart palpitations

If you are aware of your heart beating, than you are most likely experiencing cardiac arrhythmia – better known as heart palpitations. The feeling of the heart skipping a beat or beating too fast can be alarming, but is often just an inconvenient symptom of menopause that occurs daily. Sometimes accompanied by hot flashes, the palpitations can raise the heart rate up 8 – 16 beats per minute, however some women have been known to reach heart rates of 200 beats per minute. The most common cause of palpitations are hormonal fluctuations and stress, however it is important for premenopausal women to visit a doctor to rule out any underlying health conditions. Women taking Hormone Replacement Therapy tend to experience more heart palpitations than those a taking natural treatment.

Stimulants, such as alcohol and caffeine, are often the culprit for speeding up a heart rate and this effect is magnified in perimenopausal women. By understanding individual triggers it is possible to decrease the frequency and severity of heart palpitations.

Often lifestyle adjustments alone cannot combat menopause symptoms so supplements are necessary. However with safety concerns that have surfaced in recent years regarding traditional Hormone Replacement Therapy women are choosing a safe, natural treatment. Supplements focused around isoflavones, such as Promensil, have been shown to be effective in clinical trials.

Legumes, the source of isoflavones, are comprised of more than 1000 types of isoflavones in plants, however only four have been shown to benefit women going through menopause: genistein, daidzein, formononetin and biochanin A. Most legumes only carry a few of the isoflavones. Soy, which is often used in natural supplements, only contains daidzein and genistein. Promensil, which focuses around red clover, contains all four isoflavones as well as ten to twenty times the quantity found in soy – the next richest source. With so many symptoms, the transition through menopause can be a long and somewhat frustrating journey. However there is support out there. Women are more vocal about their experiences, and demand treatment that is safe, effective and natural. Promensil’s extensive testing has proven that natural supplements can be just that and without the side effects associated with hormone replacement therapy. Menopause treatment should be about making women feel like women, naturally.

The causes of this medical condition are related to physical conditions such as atherosclerosis and heart disease but psychological and emotional issues can cause ED in men of any age despite what the majority represents. Atherosclerosis is a disease which affects the arteries, brought on by the thickening of the walls of the artery as a result of high levels of cholesterol. This disease can lead to heart disease and possibly stroke if undetected.

Buying prescription medicines such as Viagra and Cialis from unregulated internet sites means that related diseases and disorders will remain undetected and the consequences could even be fatal. The medication that is sent out is often uncontrolled and taking it, one is at high risk of further complications.

It is important that men of all ages are aware that it is possible to encounter this condition at any stage in life. ED is not limited to causes such as atherosclerosis (as mentioned above), high blood pressure, and heart disease but may also be a direct result of hormonal issues such as Hypogonadism (low levels of testosterone), of smoking tobacco, drinking alcohol or taking recreational drugs. In the case of young men especially, early sexual experiences and nervousness can prevent an erection. All of these problems are treatable and the symptom of ED can be cured. Visiting your GP or contacting online clinics that are CQC regulated are the best options for treating your ED.
