Estrogen dominance causing long Covid issues?
I’m 35/f and have been experiencing low to nonexistent libido, weight gain (+15 lbs)/slowed metabolism, cherry angiomas all over (tiny red dots on skin), headaches for the past 14 months ever since a bad Covid infection. I finally got my hormones tested and my estrogen is through the roof. It’s the middle of my cycle and my estrogen should be between 34-501 pg/ml but my estrogen level is 1154 pg/ml.
I have an appt with my doc in a few days but in the meantime based on what I’ve researched online I’m gonna start taking DIM supplements to metabolize the excess estrogen and talk to my doc to see what he thinks about a progesterone only pill to help balance out the estrogen.
Has anyone else had similar issues and checked your estrogen levels? Anyone have any insight?
