    hello there , i went through this a a few years ago!

    It is indeed very scary, I had severe nausea because of it. I went through a lot of tests and finally decided myself it was due to perimenopause and went to see a specialist.

    You should ask your GP to get you a referral to see a neuro otologist just to check out that there is no actual imbalance as I do have a slight vestibular disorder.I can completely understand where you’re coming from because for me my life came to a halt and I could not drive or go out anywhere alone and couldn’t bear being in a shopping centre or supermarket.

    hope you get to the bottom if it

      Helloo Shallah dear

      Thanks for reply.

      Me having Migrane headaches too in past. ..Perimenopause and migrane both made this stage of life more difficult for me.

      Always feel off balance..loosing my self confidence slowly. Not able to drive .

      Wish this phase will pass soon.

      Hi Shallah, I have vestibular migraine. Went a year and a half and too many drs undiagnosed. I am currently under the care of a neurotologist aka (oto neurotologist) He is wonderful. Mine disrupted my life too....had to close my business. At my very worst, housebound and unable to drive. I am on medication now, trying to get my chronic migraine under control. Feeling hopeful.

      I posted a discussion with info about hormones and their effect on the vestibular system...it is in moderation, hopefully it goes through.

    Yes.. feel dizzy and off balance. It's mostly in the morning which I don't understand because I believe I sleep 7-8 hours.. Just feel dopey.. I stay in mostly just because of this. Hoping that these hormones balance out soon!
