[|Human|] I am a 44 year old female with pain in my mid to left back, I have shortness of breathe and dizzy/light headed. I currently have stopped take my hormone replacement medication. Can these symptoms be due to stopping my hormone replacement medication?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, you're all symptoms can be due to stopping of hormone replacement medication. You are approaching menopause. And hormonal imbalance is likely during this phase. This kind of imbalance causes mood disorder, stress, anxiety, depression etc. And all these causes' breathlessness, back pain etc. But better to rule out other possible causes first. So first get done chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out internal lung related causes. If both these are normal then no need to worry. Your symptoms are mostly due to stopping hormonal therapy. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
