I just had a zoom meeting with my primary doctor. It went great. I'm getting blood work taken tomorrow. Non-fasting. I told her about my hot flashes and she asked me more questions and then said she thinks I'm in the very beginning of menopause! I was worried about that. She said my age too lines up with it being perimenopause. She said to drink unsweetened soy milk and to eat a more plant-based diet including edamame and soy beans. Luckily, I don't have any bad side effects from peri yet. (i.e. dryness). Otherwise, she asked what my blood pressure was and asked about my cpap- said I probably will need a new mask soon and that she will call the supplier for me. I dunno. I suspected that I might be starting perimenopause from the night sweats and hot flashes but now its real if my doctor suggests that it is, too. Oh dear... I'll have to ask my mom when she started the hot flashes.
