Menopausal Headaches: Self-help
Exercise and a sensible diet particularly one that is rich in calcium will help stave off the effects of osteoporosis. Iron and B-complex vitamins can help offset the anaemia caused by flooding. Deep breathing techniques can help restore control, when you are suffering from mood swings, or other emotional symptoms of the menopause
Because of the slightly increased chance of getting breast cancer, the mammogram (a sort of breast X-ray) should be arranged on a regular basis.
Don't hesitate to talk to a counsellor about the psychological symptoms of the menopause (anxiety, phobias, confusion, depression, poor memory, etc.). What you experience might be natural, but it is certainly not easy or pleasant. Storing up emotions, fears and depression will most certainly cause tension headaches.
