    hello catherine, i feel lightheaded daily and although iv had every horrendous symptom peri and menopause throws at us this lightheadedness just continues and my eyes feel their being pulled and twisted out my head, im also experiencing jelly legs and a feeling of falling forward, i don't know if thats anxiety or not. Like you it makes my ears feel funny. im sorry i can't make you feel any better but just wanted to reply to let you know your not alone and i know how you'll be feeling, its taken my confidence away to go out too far.

    sending you a comforting off balance hug x

      Hi Anxiousface,

      Can you explain more about your eyes? I have many vision issues and recently started to feel a "tug" feeling in one of my eyes.

      hello staci

      it feels like eye strain but also get this twisting. its so hard to explain its a sort of headache in my eyes. i also get the aura every so often where my vision halves with a zig zag at one side which usually lasts about 20 minutes but makes me feel im about to get a throbbing headache. I suffer with some sort of headache most days. Another strange thing that happens to me, when im eating a meal my eyes start pulling which makes me nauseas.

      how is it for you staci ?

      I think we might have spoke before about the auras. But, the weird pulling feeling is new to me. It's usually in my right eye and it is hard to explain. It just feels like a slight tug. Yes! It happens to me when eating or at least it is more noticeable during meals. I used to only get one menstrual migraine a month for the past 8 years. Now, I have some variation of a headache several times a week. I think they are mostly tension headaches. I am constantly squinting because my eyes are blurry. The muscles around my eyes and cheeks are so tense that sometimes the tip of my nose gets pins and needles. I have to remind myself throughout the day to relax my face! Ugh! I hope you feel better soon!!
