As someone who has reached menopause at age 54, I am so sorry to hear that you are still battling with hot flashes, anxiety and insomnia.
Menopause is defined as the final menstrual period and usually confirmed when a woman has missed her periods for 12 consecutive months (in the absence of other obvious causes).
What does your doctor have to say about the persistence of your symptoms?
Has he or she checked your thyroid function? Hot flashes and thyroid problems are linked with decreased levels of estrogen in a woman´s body during menopause.
This is something you might want to discuss with your physician.
