Dizzy with strange head sensation

Posted , 14 users are following.

Hello Ladies,

Its been a while since I last came on here. I have had the awful dizziness for years on and off but I'm wondering if any of you have had it along with a strange sensation that feels like you are falling ? It's hard to explain, its like you've stopped but your head hasn't . . . its horrible and i just wish it would go away. I have been period free for over a year and was praying things would start improving 😦

Thank you in advance

      hi there probably about 2 and a half years... peri just hit me out of the blue... i did have jacked up cycles leading up to dec of 2015 and major fatigue but didnt really have any other symptoms... didnt even think that it could be leading into perimenopause... then bam hit me like a ton of brings... really thought i was dying of some terrible disease 😦 then the off balance, feeling of falling forward... ground moving, jelly legs... flu like feeling mixed with stomach virus.... i finally googled to see if it could be menopause... then i found this forum ... it saved me.... ❤❤❤

      You have described me! I am 100 days without a period and doing better. The dizziness and weird head stuff has lessened a lot. Experiencing the jelly legs a lot, which is disconcerting. Glad to know you are doing better!!

      The dizziness started in April. All the other perimenopause symptoms started last October.
