Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic.
This is caused by hormonal changes during menopause and nothing unexpected. Usually the symptoms subside within few months but in some cases hormonal replacement therapy may be necessary so you should ask your doctor abot this.
I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
