I'm 40 and just started having vertigo or dizziness around ovulation. It has caused anxiety and muscle weekness along with heart racing. I've always had normal periods. I'm almost positive this is hormonal. My Gp said all my bloodwork was normal. I guess its time to see the gynocologist.

Hi ladies, I am having the same sx as well, I experienced vertigo in January 2019 and lasted for almost a month, I actually having a lot of pain, before, during and after period so the whole month is different from bone pain, headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain and increase in bowel movement - the increase in bowel movement is due to increase in prostaglandin , it increases the motility of the intestine based on the article I read.

Now after 9 months again my vertigo strike and been 5 days now since, I have read that we should increase our Vitamin B12 intake and check our Vit. D level too, these Vit help in decreasing dizziness.....Wish us all a good health soon❤😘

I have the same symptom. I'm 47 and have noticed this dizzy symptom. It comes and goes but it came back today and its right around the time of my ovulation. I just had an endometrial ablation in March for heavy bleeding. Now I have no periods which is great but I dont know if Im ovulating. Since it was recent, my calendar had me set to be ovulating, sure enough probably why Im dizzy. I also have heart palpitations. The ablation got rid of the periods but the hormones continue. I guess its the rise and fall of the hormones. I also notice my vision for a moment gets blurry and then I spend the whole day blaming my dizziness on my eyes.

yes i feel dizzy during ovulation time as well as before periods. feel lightheaded, blurry, sensitive to light etc.

Yes, every month. And it scares me. My Gyno said, it's hormonal. I have yet to faint, praise God! It passes fairly quickly. I feel hot, my hands get clammy, and I feel as though I might pass out.

yes yes yes !!!!!! ive been dealing with this for years now and finally have realized the pattern. According to my period tracker its always during fertile period and up to ovulation ! ots so alarming i have developed anxiety cause of it ,,, so going to my dr this monday i hope we can do something about this , i cant take it ! i get so lightheaded and i feel like im tilting to the side at times... i hope you are feeling better

I know this is a fairly older thread but I just wanted to chime in and say that I'm in the same boat! My Dr seems to think I'm in the perimenopausal decade (42 years old) so it may just be par for the course...

But yes. Dizziness and headaches (sometimes migraines - regular and ocular) during ovulation. Also anxiety and on the verge of panic for a couple of days during the ovulation time period.

I used to get anxiety and headaches leading up to when my period was just about to start but apparently that all changes when you start peri.

Just wanted to share my story in the hopes that it may help someone who is just as health anxious as I am.

Hopefully we all get through this and make it to the other side of our menstrual woes in good health (and SANE!) This seems so unfair in consideration of all the other things we as women have to weather. Just when you start to feel like you're figuring it all out and gaining confidence you never had in your 20's and 30's, you get hit with this crap. Ugh!

Sending lots of love and support to you all. ❤

i have experience the symptoms as wel,

I’m not sure if it has anything to do with my ovulation time as all my kids are grown and I have my tubes tied .But hopefully it passes quickly for both of us.

Hi all. Only just registered on here after coming across this thread on google. What a relief to discover I'm not a hypochondriac or going insane!!

The same thing happens to me during ovulation. Sometimes so dizzy that I can't go to work and have to lay down.

I also get other symptoms that have been mentioned, (loose bowel, migraine, pain during ovulation) My GP said it wasn't caused by onset menopause ( I'm 43 and still have very regular periods) but it seems it probably is.

it's so nice to know I'm not alone and that there are people out there going through the same thing that I can't talk to and not feel like and idiot! x

Has anyone experienced this while driving and how did you handle it?

Have any of the suggested treatments worked for anyone who tried them?

I drive for a living.. a HUGE dumptruck so I am afraid this could cost me my CDL that I just got a few months ago. I do still have a regular period. This started about 6 months ago. The first 2x it was the first day of my period.. now period and around ovulation. It didn't happen at period last month because I took ibuprofen a few days before and until my period started. I read that it can lower prostaglandins. It is very brief (10-30sec) but I feel like I have to hold onto something during. It has yet to happen during work. Please help
