Peri-Menopause I have a question:?

I have read somewhat about this stage..trying to figure, though, lately, occasionally Tears flowing for no reall large reason...I mean, I am a bit emotional anyway but I am aware of that and have general grip...Lately, aside from a few perimenopause possible symptoms, I think the tears thing is abnormal...SO ,question is, can that be a side effect? Getting real sad/tears/ on small things....?
