What Causes Irregular Periods Along With Mood Swings In A 48 Year Old?

just wondering if my apparent daydreamy state for the last 6 months is due to being 48 and having now irregular periods? Menopause is imminent and I find I am like a placid, happy-but-not-very-interesting, and quite-content-to-be version of my old peppy self. Could this be normal for my age and state?

Hello,

These changes in your mood are quite normal during these hormonal changes. There is no need to panic or worry about it! I would just recommend checking your thyroid hormone levels and performing an abdominal ultrasound.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
