Hello,
If it is ketone breath and sweet odor better get your sugars checked. I think with menopause such kind of symptoms doesn't come. If you have ketones in your body, you will have that symptom. We need to examine you once and take a little more history if we can find any other cause for your symptoms also. With online consultation, I can say only this much to you as of now.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Archana
