Yes, you can certainly can be in menopause at your age. Has your doctor ran a hormone test on you? If not, ask him to. That way you can be certain. I had similar symptoms at about 48 years of age. My doctor ran a hormone check and found that one level was OK, but another was not. He prescribed a hormone patch that I wear on my abdomen, which has to be changed twice a week. I've been symptom free ever since I started using them. All I need is a very low dose so I have no problems from the patches.
