Perimenopause Symptoms: Early Signs & What to Expect

Question
Cathrine
am perplexed. 48 years old. Menstration cycle started a week early and has continued for 16 days. In beginning very light is a little heavier now. Have had night sweats for past couple years. Have put on a nice little belly roll of fat over the past year. In hindsight, period was getting lighter before this. Had to upgrade on strenght of antiperspirant and can't decide whether I want to choke people or hug them all in the same second. Is this perimenopause? How bad should I freak out?
