This can be very normal for many woman at that age as they approach menopause. If this is what is affecting your wife it is called perimenopause and is caused by fluctuating hormones. If she is having other symptoms such as night sweats, unexplained anxiety, heart palpitations, hot flushes and about a gazlillion other things, then it is likely perimenopause. Hope this helps.
