In a way yes.. I often feel like I might faint but I never have.. I'm just really afraid to drive or to go anywhere by myself because I'm afraid I will.

This feeling is a symptom of anxiety brought on by our crazy fluctuating hormones. Try to sit down and relax by doing some deep breathing to see if this feeling subsides

I normally do..but I was in a parking lot this time. Not sitting down there but did just sit there when I got to my car for a bit. It's odd though. I don't feel anxious at all.

Hi jready, I hear you...been having that feeling for over a year now. off balanced, weird vision, poor night vision, like I am walking on sponges and my head isn't my own. when I force myself to drive, it sucks because when the car stops, I still feel in motion. As a passenger, I get motion sickness. mine is because of my migraines courtesy of peri. Just upped my meds for prevention last night. Tried to do a photo book on line and a migraine sprung up....ready to topple over. Going back to dr for balance testing to rule out inner ear nerve damage. If I pass the testing, then I have vestibular migraine. When I saw the otoneurologist...he said he sees it often in peri women...hormone fluctuations...silent migraines, etc. Supposedly, it calms in menopause. By far my worst and most lingering problem.

I'm exactly like you, but feel it more often when i've been standing a while. i dread meeting anyone i know as they'll want to stop and chat and i just feel i will fall forward and either faint or head but them, it makes me so anxious.
sometimes when i'm in my kitchen preparing a meal or washing up i feel i'm walking on marshmallows or the floor is moving, its all very weird.
i wondered was this related to anxiety but this can happen to me at home when i'm happily doing something nice.
i know how you feel ladies and its good to know im not alone in another weird feeling the menopause has given me
love and comforting hugs to all x

I get that feeling and more too. So i know how you feel. ATM mine is 24/7 and im not getting any breaks from the head pain, spinning, heaviness, pressure in around my eyes/nose/teeth/jaw. Plus im having terrible constant vision issues. The anxiety is off the charts.
