Light headed and dizzy around ovulation
Posted , 32 users are following.
Hello ladies
I hope you’re all having a good weekend, and the peri/meno symptoms are being kind.
I have a quick question. Do any of you experience light headed ness or dizzy spells around the time you should be ovulating?
I’ve been terrifically light headed today and a couple of times had to lay down because I was almost spinning. I’ve had this before and it was around ovulation then too but nowhere near as bad today. Finding this rather alarming if I’m honest.
Thanks in advance for any replies/thoughts.

hi, have any of you guys come across histamine intolerance within menopause? this is what my nutritionist thinks causes my symptoms. I get very dizzy, bad heart palpitations and feel really weak and fatigued. When it started 2 years ago (age 41) it was worse, I was experiencing vasodilation almost like I'd been drugged, almost passed out and would have days of brain fog and severe fatigue afterwards. The doctors didn't know what was wrong but my nutritionist diagnosed a histamine intolerance possibly caused by too much gut bacteria. But what she also said is that histamine is exacerbated by estrogen. So added together with a high histamine diet, a surge of estrogen possibly due to perimenopausal fluctuations, could cause a perfect storm and cause these symptoms.
I'm not saying you guys all have this too, but its interesting that noone seems to be able to find an answer as to what is happening in the body when these symptoms occur. I'd love to think it was caused by something else, because low histamine diets suck! but I do think it helps to reduce the symptoms and antihistamines help too.
