Anyone feel weird head pressure in menopause that affects balance? Scares me because it makes me feel super anxious and irritable when these so called "head spells" come on me.

Hi Nettie - yes, I feel head pressure constantly which is much worse when I lie down. Feels like bricks in my head. This is accompanied by chronic dizziness. I have had no relief from it for the past several months. I must get up very slowly and take a moment before I try to walk. My head is actually sore and sensitive to the touch. A recent brain MRI was normal. You are not alone.

hello Nettie . I also get strange , weird feelings that really are a job to explain to anyone . I get them now again and its almost like Im not in my own body . The sensation seems to go from my legs , up through my body and sometimes makes me feel like Im going to pass out . At the same time its almost like a hot flush , but not if that makes sense . This also makes my head feel weird , then I get anxious . I am 51 and have been having peri symptoms for over 3 years now . I have not had a period for over 2 months , this happened the previous cycle and then I suddenly came on . I still get the aches and feelings that my period is going to come on , but nothing . Does anyone else get my sort of head weirdness ?

Yes, I get this frequently. Feels like I'm going to tip over sometimes. It's a very disconcerting fee

yes to all. It is all so scary. I too had an MRI and CT scan and all clear.

I know how you feel. I call them "head rushes". They are scary and usually ruin my day from the anxiety they cause me. It usually happens right before a hot flash. A few days later I may have a period. Doc says they hormonal shifts that cause them.
You are definitely not alone.

Thank you, Ladies, for all your responses. It helps to have the support from one another and knowing we are not alone in our suffering eases the anxiety.

Yep. Same for me. I get very light headed and sometimes headache between my eyes or base of neck. I have troubles focusing almost t as though my contacts are the wrong prescription! Some times my scalp feels tingly. Oh the joys of womanhood!

I just hate that one never knows when these spells are going to hit and this causes me severe anxiety. So glad we have this forum to compare notes during these scary times in menopause. Thanks, Ladies!
