      Poor you 😕 it's horrible. I try to carry on with normal life as much as I can but it's not always possible! Mine started with the menopause. Do you take tablets for it?

    Sorry. What are you taking?

      Something called Stemetil but doesn't always do the job and is very strong! Did your dizziness start with the menopause? Sorry to ask so many questions. Just desperate after such a long time 😕

      I think so. I've had it for years but I think I've been in peri for years too. It's just in last 10 months symptoms really started up and caught my attention. Now I've got health anxiety worrying about everything.

      Poor you 😕 I'm pretty anxious about most things nowadays and have become very OCD!! I have had my dizziness for over 2 and a half years now but have felt spaced out and floaty for almost 10 years. Miserable isn't it...

      It takes over your whole life doesn't it 😕 I stopped the HRT as found it didn't make it any better! I miss feeling normal. If I have a couple if hours when I do feel well I always think this is it, it's gone and then it comes back and I feel so low. Do you take anything for yours? Have you stopped your HRT?

      No I haven't I went to the doctors and had blood tests to see if it was anything else but they came back normal I'm going to the doctors the week after next maybe we should change to a different hrt

      Yeah I have tried 3 different types now and not sure what to do. I am going to try herbal and natural again for a bit but not holding out much hope. I too have had just about every blood test going and all normal!! So tiring to feel so ill and try and work and keep some kind of normality. Keep thinking one day I will wake up and it will be gone...

      Yes that would be good I once tried a tea which they made up for me in the shop and it was quite good

      Do you remember what tea it was? I use something that controls hot flushes etc. The only reason I tried hrt was to see if it would help with the dizziness and nausea! Are you dizzy all the time and do you have neck pain too? It feels like severe tension in the neck 😕

    I experienced this for a long time, and saw lots of different doctors. It was finally diagnosed as Vertiginous Migraine.  

    I'm generally Migraine-free now, as long as I keep my levels of Estrogen and Testosterone stable.  

    Hope this info helps, constant dizziness/vertigo is one of the worst symptoms I've ever had!

      Hi spotty Can I ask what HRT regimen you are on?

      Hi,

      I had a premature menopause as a result of having a fibroid removed, unfortunately this took many years to diagnose.  

      At the moment, I have an Estrogen implant, I apply Tostran (Testosterone) gel 4 times p/week and I use Ovestim vaginal cream.

      I'm very sensitive to Progesterone so had a hysterectomy in order to use estrogen safely.

      If I use too little Testosterone, I start getting Migraines, mainly headaches and visual disturbance initially but dizziness and vertigo follows if I don't correct the doseage.

      I've also found that many hypertension medications also seem to bring on the Migraines - I get very dizzy and have constant headaches etc but not, it seems, as a result of the lowered blood pressure, but rather as a sensitivity to the meds.
