Ask the doctor. I've been taking estrogen since I reached menopause seven years ago, and it really helped my hot flashes and other symptoms. When I started these drugs, I was told they would lower my risk for osteoporosis and heart attacks, but I ve been reading lots of negative articles about how they may increase risk for heart problems. Should I stop them?
