DIzzyness

I’d say if you had tests to rule other things out, and your cycles are getting wonky, then, yes, def this feeling goes along with perimeno. I used to get it in my 40s too, always thought it was my blood sugar crashing so I’d quick eat something. But looking back I’m sure it was the start of things to come. 

If you’re willing to try bcp then go for it and see if it helps. It will replace progesterone that you are starting to get low on.

Hi Amanda. Welcome to the forum.. Yes dizziness is one of the symptoms many of us ladies experience in here... It does pass with time but very scary when it first starts. I get neasua and heart racing and headaches and stomach issues... This forum has helped tremendously so hang tight and keep checking in here... It does get easier... Mind yourself. CK

Hello, Amanda. 

My peri menopause started with terrible off-balance feeling. It lasted around a year, then it went one day. However many other unpleasant symptoms appeared later, disappeared and came back, again disappeared. Years later, I still have periods, and I had really trying winter with depression and anxiety. I can say that previous years I suffered from physical symptoms, but as I am heading toward the final shut-down, the symptoms are more psychological- anxiety, doom and gloom. Do not know if it was physiological or I became simply tired of all this - I am really fed-up with all those years of troubles. However,  I decided to go naturally, but I take supplements- C, B, calcium, iron, magnesium, evening primrose oil, fish oil. 

Hi Amanda,

I’m right with you! To me it’s the most debilitating part of menopause. I have learned over the last 4 years that it’s mostly due to adrenal fatigue, especially since you have had everything else ruled out. I have had every test known to man done and nothing ever shows up with th exception of low hormone levels. I have been to many naturopathic doctors who have helped me the most. If you are able to tolerate a detox, this is the best place to start as having a healthy gut is vital. Next you could go to a vitamin store and get something for adrenal fatigue. I haven’t been able to tolerate the adrenal support to well as it brings on about 200 hot flashes a day instead of the normal say 50-100. However that being said, I’m gonna go back on them because it makes the feeling of having one too many drinks go away. At any rate it’s something to try, Or you could spend a small fortune on naturopath to get it all figured out. Hrts are great for some, but the problem is , is that as soon as stop, the roller coaster starts all over again. I’m one that just wants to keep it moving and get through and move on. Good luck with whatever you decide to do..

Amanda, I had exactly the feeling you described for over 2 years as well. It started to improve slowly over last few months. I am not sure if it just resolves like this on your own, or the yoga, pranayama, meditation that I did. I also tried to keep myself stress free as much as possible because I noticed that stress definitely affected these symptoms.
