[|Human|] I am suffering from nausea, mild stomach cramps, bloating, headache etc. been four or five days now and happened a few times recently. I had gastritis last year. Could it have returned? I am in middle of menopause and started HRT about six months ago. Didn t seem to have side effects to begin with but pills I am on do state these as possible side effects. Am thinking of seeing doctor.
[|AI|]  HiT hanks for askingBased on your query my opinion is1. Yes, HRT can cause the symptoms you have mentioned.2. However, you need to rule out gastritis for abdominal pain and nausea.3. Other causes being hormonal changes due to menopause.4. Progesterone causes nausea/ abdominal pain and headache(due to water retention). 5. You can take antacids with antiemetic along with antispasmodics.6. If it does not settle you will need a reduction in dosage of HRT. Hope this helpsRegards
