A few years ago (maybe 3) my mother underwent a hysterectomy. Since then she has been going through menopause. Yesterday, she informed me that she is getting constant headaches, and she wakes up at 3-4 in the morning feeling really nervous. She says it feels like her heart is ready to pop out of her chest. What scares me the most, is that my mother is a fun loving outgoing person. With all of this, not only is she experiencing these attacks, but she is also losing patches of hair on her head ?!?!?! Is this normal ?? I mean, I am trying to help, but I am a 19 yrs old college student and find it hard relating to her. I love her soo much and it worries me to think that it could be possibly something worse ?? Can anyone help me ?!?!?!!? Please !!!!
