Signs That You May Have a Hormonal Imbalance
Common warning signs that you may be dealing with a hormonal imbalance include:
Trouble Sleeping
In women, low levels of progesterone can make it difficult to get a full night of high-quality sleep while low levels of estrogen can lead to night sweats and hot flashes. Both of these instances of hormonal imbalances can sabotage your sleep and make you feel fatigued throughout the day.
Weight Gain
Unexplainable weight gain is a telltale sign of hormonal imbalance. Generally, weight gain that’s linked to a hormonal issue is intermittent, leading to frequent weight fluctuations. Menopause is the main cause of hormonal weight gain, although women with the polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and other endocrine conditions may also struggle with this issue.
Mood Swings
Estrogen impacts neurotransmitters in the brain. So, an estrogen imbalance can alter the release of serotonin, the neurotransmitter which improves our mood. This can lead to a low mood, anxiety, and feelings of depression.
Headaches
Dropping estrogen levels can trigger headaches for many women. Estrogen has even been linked to migraine headaches, given that when estrogen levels drop, the chemicals in the brain that control pain also decline. Luckily, hormone therapy can help many women suffering from chronic headaches and migraines find relief.
