Chronic dizziness and balance problem, can ayone help!
Posted , 4 users are following.
I've posted my symptoms many times here before, I'm 51 and had very heavy bleeding for a year. Doctor carried out tests and told me that I have a fibroid and also FSH levels very high, however, estrogen levels still normal. GP said I was heading for menopause.
I don't get hot flushes but my main symptoms have been agitation, anxiety has became much worse, insomnia and last but not least this terrible dizziness. I've even been seen at stroke clinic and been told I've not suffered from this for which I'm grateful. I've tried all the usual drugs for middle ear problems such as serc, stematil and cinnarizine.....ineffective, GP hasen't got a clue about peri and now saying dizziness may be anxiety based, it may very well be but is anyone else suffering from this debilitating symptom?

I really hope you feel ok soon and your dreaded dizzies vo away ...it really is an awful debilitating sympton ..

i have had this and it floored me for a week. I literally could not get out of bed and I slept a lot. I caved on the third day and rang the docs who confidently advised that it was labyrinthitis and that it would pass and it did by day 5. This is an inner ear infection that affects balance, my mum had it in me too. However I was extremely dizzy if I moved quickly or laid down flat for a good six months after and as with the other 999 symptoms of peri and post meno it has not returned thankfully. Try not to worry 😃

Doctors only guess with these kind of symptoms, I was told also I had labs, I'm not convinced though,
My sister was plagued with dizziness over the years and had every test possible done. Neurologist has now advised her that she may be sufering from vestibular migraine so don't know if it's possible I have same, it's very difficult to get appointments and diagnosis.
Just hoping & praying it goes away soon, I'll never forget this time of my life as long as I live.
Thanks for caring x
