sudden anxiety

[Murphysmum]

I’m a 47 yo female with existing thyroid issues, and I’m on progesterone to help with thyroid uptake.

However, last night I wakened with a full blown anxiety attack. It was about 330am which is obvs when your cortisol kicks in, but I couldn’t shift it, and now at gone 12 noon I’m still feeling very on edge.

I suspect due to it age it’s my hormones at work, as my thyroid levels have been stable for months.

i will of course do bloods to check but has anyone experienced this and more specifically did you identify which hormone was causing it?

It’s easy enough to increase my progesterone, more tricky to introduce estrogen I think 😬
