Some of the same symptoms like PMS, but add the hot flashes.
Estrogen fades as you get perimenopausal (stopping). Menopause is defined nowadays as when you are totally stopped.
Estrogen helps keep insulin under control. Insulin, thus, can go wild. The purpose of insulin is to open the "cell's mouths" to let food and water in. Thus, insulin can tuck food and water in cells, causing bloating, moodiness and weight gain.
The food insulin tucks in cells is blood glucose. If insulin tucks in too much glucose (a condition known as hyperinsulinemia), it can result in there being too little blood glucose in the blood stream for the rest of the body to use during the day (a condition known as hypoglycemia). If the brain senses a low blood sugar condition, it can call up a hot flash, to get you to move which (like all exercise) puts blood sugar into the blood stream from wherever it is stored.

Your period stop, your heart races it is very annoying,your viginia dryes up= exercise is the best thing.
Sex is painful if you don't do your exercies. Hormones give you cancer of the breast.
