So I was sitting on my recliner downstairs and suddenly felt really warm throughout my face neck back and arms...then came the palpitations and headache with slight dizziness. Anxiety is kicking in. I'm within one week of getting my period. I really hate this. Can anyone else relate?

    I get this often, it's no fun at all. The dizziness is awful. Being a woman isn't always fun! Xxx

      I get all these symptoms often as well. The anxiety and panic attacks

      Are so awful sometimes! It helps so much knowing I'm not alone.

      Not that I would wish this on anyone, but knowing there is a reason for

      It and we all go through it helps gives me hope that it will one day go away.

      I keep hoping and praying.

      I pray for all of us.

    Hi Valarie, I can definitely relate!

    And Beth is correct it's due to our hormones.

    Hopefully soon they will level out and we can feel ourselves again.

    I feel for you and hope you feel better!

    I had hot flashes the entire month of August.  I clocked them, they were every 45 minutes, all day and all night.  It would start with dizzy, then sick feeling, then hot flash, then freezing - I was up all night first hot then cold - blankets off - blankets on.  It totally sucked.  Then there was anxiety because I didn't sleep all month.  Then all of a sudden it stopped.  I have not had one since then.  However, I did move on to bigger and better things.  It's all hormones, we will survive.  

    Oh, now its my eyes and migraines  - ugh......

    Take magnesium. I take it every day and it really helps.  

    Dump caffine!!!  Or any other stimulants.  Get rid of sugar.  

     CalMax helps.  Take 2 T of Extra virgin olive oil or Flax seed oil every day.
