Recently I have been getting palpitation like symptoms or tremors/fluttering inside, tingling in hands and feet, pain in my calf, ringing in my ears, tingling in my tongue and my arms feel heavy. I have on a few occasions had pain over my shoulders like a pulled muscle and blurry vision.

The symptoms that you describe (“palpitation like symptoms or tremors/fluttering inside, tingling in hands and feet, pain in the calf, ringing in the ears, tingling in the tongue, arms feel heavy, pain over my shoulders and blurry vision”) could be due to premature menopause but you'll first have exclude heart disorders, high blood pressure and thyroid disorders as possible causes of the condition. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with low doses of estrogen can often relieve such symptoms when they are caused by menopause (climacterium) but the hormones won’t help if you are experiencing something else. You can request an ECG examination together with blood pressure measurements and some blood tests in order to diagnose the condition.
