3) Physical symptoms: muscle tension, heart palpitations, shortness of breath.
4) Panic attacks: sudden intense episodes of fear or dread.

Whilst the decline in sex hormones maybe a contributor to menopausal anxiety, often it unmasks underlying imbalances that have been mitigated by sex hormones. Nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, poor blood sugar, low thyroid function, disregulated cortisol can all be the cause of anxiety symptoms.
