VIDEO: Are my symptoms related to menopause?
Published: January 26th, 2026
Do you have symptoms like hair thinning, dizziness, aching legs or even new allergies—and wonder what’s really going on?
Hi, I’m Dr Wendy Sweet (PhD), founder of My Menopause Transformation. If no one has explained it yet—yes, these can all be symptoms of menopause or post-menopause. Women in my community often tell me, “I had no idea that my symptoms were connected to menopause!”
That’s why I created the FREE Menopause and Post-Menopause Symptoms Quiz, based on my Doctoral Studies on Women’s Healthy Ageing. With over 500,000 women having taken the quiz, the data is clear—many symptoms go unrecognised, misdiagnosed or simply dismissed as “just ageing.”
These symptoms are all connected to menopause. Once you complete the quiz, you’ll get access to a video where I explain your results and what your body may be trying to tell you.
Do you wonder if the symptoms you’re experiencing are really due to menopause? Has your hair been thinning or your legs are restless and aching? Perhaps your heart skips a beat or you’re feeling more anxious? Does your stomach feel bloated or you feel dizzy and you’ve suddenly developed allergies?
If so, then welcome to the menopause symptoms that nobody has explained to you. I hope you can take the menopause symptoms quiz.
Hi, I’m Dr. Wendy Sweet, founder of My Menopause Transformation from New Zealand. And if no one’s told you yet, these can all be symptoms of menopause.
I know this because over 500,000 women have taken my menopause and post-menopause symptoms quiz. Time and time again, women tell me, “I had no idea that those symptoms were connected to menopause.”
From tingling fingers to heart palpitations, from fatigue to sore joints, these symptoms often get brushed off, misdiagnosed, or ignored altogether.
These are the menopause symptoms no one’s talking about. Yet half a million women told us they have them.
That’s why I created the symptoms quiz following my doctoral thesis, to help you connect the dots and understand what your body is really trying to tell you.
When you do the quiz, I have a video explaining your score and your symptoms.
Take the symptoms quiz today. It’s free and it only takes two minutes.
