What are the symptoms of menopause anxiety?
November 1, 2022
By Jennifer Vander Zalm
Anxiety is anxiety, regardless of whether menopause triggers it, so symptoms of menopause anxiety are the same as those felt with non-menopause anxiety. Symptoms associated with anxiety are commonly felt in the chest or abdomen, and include:
- Feeling restless, wound-up, or on-edge
- Being easily fatigued
- Having difficulty concentrating; mind going blank
- Being irritable
- Having muscle tension
- Difficulty controlling feelings of worry
- Presence of ‘self-soothing’ behaviours such as nail-chewing or handrubbing
- Having sleep problems, such as difficulty falling or staying asleep, restlessness, or unsatisfying sleep [2]
