      I'm not on any period close to post menopause. Has any one actually woke up in the mornings from sleep with this?

      yes every morning for the last two weeks.  I have to watch myself around the woodstove, I am afraid to fall against it.  For me it was worse the first two hours of the morning...or if I had to go shopping (looking up or down to find items...)  You will be ok it will pass  I am over it now, the the time beig anyway.  I get it every so often

    I felt like that for the past two weeks, the last couple of days it has finally passed.  I hate that feeling of being drunk.  The best thing you can do is not move your head.  Looking up, down or around is enough to nock you right off balance.  It will pass...although it is a terrible thing!  Hope you get over it soon

    I get this feeling from time to time, especially in the morning. Are you dehydrated? That can contribute to the dizzyiness and the lightheadedness. Pinch the skin on the back of your hand gently. If the skin doesn't immediately snap back, you could need a big glass of water and food with a little bit of salt to retain the water.

    Yes. I encountered the dizziness and some more stomach issues on/off this week. Dizziness is common during peri. It cones and goes.

    I've experienced this for the past year...worsened whenever I'm in artificial heat for too long..very scary....whenever I'm able to fully rest it eases up...and also after a couple of hours in steam room helps. Hope it passes for us both soon. I think it's hard for us ladies dealing with these issues when our life's are still running at 100 miles an hour...it's no wonder we get anxiety..poor us!
