HRT patches

Can anyone give an idea of what could be causing the following please? Taking estrogen patches - had a total hysterectomy - became even more ill with all sorts of symptoms that pointed to low estrogen. Patches are the solution, terrific, help in many ways, feel better than have for many years. But I get a yoyoing where for a few days I have a lot of energy, good sleep, good mood, perfect, and then an irritating cough, a big breathless, trouble sleeping and less energy, this goes back and forth. Its the same if I use soya tablets instead of patches. Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated thank you. I am still far better off than I was before but obviously want to identify this and put a stop to it.

And please, with all due respect, no replies such as speak to your doctor.
