Peri/Post Menopause vs Histamines
Many women experience an immune system or inflammatory resurgence as a result of hormonal changes.
This is often brushed over and either labeled as "menopause" or thought to be a result of just getting older.
High histamines are more than just allergic reactions.
Symptoms of High Histamines include:
- Skin: hives, flushing, itching, eczema
- Respiratory: rhinitis (constant runny nose), sinusitis, wheeze, shortness of breath, chronic cough
- Gut: acid reflux, nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, bloating, wind
- Vascular: dizziness, fainting, migraine, oedema (fluid retention), palpitations
- Neurological: irritability, anxiety, brain fog, insomnia, fatigue, tinnitus
- Inflammation: joint pains, breast pain, painful and/or heavy periods, bladder pain syndrome
