In Oct. 2009 I started being really grumpy and mean also. I had been sick with a migrane for three days and then started feeling really tired. I would come home from town and tell my husband that I lost my temper with someone in line behind me and then started jumping into conversations with people that were not even talking to me. I have always been the peacemaker in my family and at any jobs that I had. I was always the one that people came to when they were having problems.
I saw my GYN and since I have been on hormone replacement since 1996 due to complete hysterectomy, she felt like it wasn't hormone related. At that visit I had negative pressure in left ear. She referred me to ENT. My apt. was in January, 2010. The cat scan of sinuses showed a deviated septum and very little airway in the left nostril. At the time of surgery I had complete blockage on the left side. After septoplasty and turbinate reduction, I could breathe much better.
I was sleeping better and my grouchiness went away. Then things started clicking in my mind. My husband had told me that I was turning over at night hundreds of times but I didn't realize that I wasn't sleeping well. I began to feel normal immediately.
I always tell this to anyone that mentions that their personality has changed suddenly. Sleep deprivation causes alot of personality changes.
Please visit with your dr. about your symptons, especially if you are more tired than usual. Don't wait for months like I did.
