Hello Ladies, has anyone been experiencing dizzyness and not able to keep your balance when you are just simply walking along. I also trip and fall very easy, just wondering if something else is wrong with me. Please let me know if anyone is having these issues. It has been bothering me for some time and Im trying not to worry myself sick...Thanks
I have times when I am very off balance, yes...and the dizziness...oh, the dizziness, lol! The dizziness leads directly to anxiety for me. I can't wait to be out the other end of the perimenopausal crap!
I experience dizziness on and off. I've also heard other people mention it too. It's a peri. thing.
Oh yes one of my least favourite systoms .Do some reading also make sure an chk your dr.
Take care
Do nt worry much
Hiya, yes i had that in perimenopause on and off, being unsteady on legs, clumsy, bumping into things in shops. Im now in meno and suffering even more anxiety and when very anxious i get the jelly legs and feel out of it and unsteady, especially in supermarkets! So thinking back a couple of years when my anxiety started low level, i wonder if it was the anxiety that caused my unsteadiness back then too. Do you have any anxiety?
YES, I have panic and anxiety attacks, but thats another story...Im so glad Im not alone in this. I trip, stumble and fall very easily, and when I get up from my desk at work, it takes me a while to even put one foot in front of the other and walk....
That's me too Julie 😔....supermarkets are a nightmare for me don't think the florescent lighting helps either. I can get quite panicky and adrenaline rush is another symptom while shopping, like I can't take it all in everything in the aisles it becomes too much, which causes me anxiety and then overheat and therefore no choice but to leave. The minute I'm outside I am absolutely fine! It's a joke & just cannot go shopping unless absolutely nessesary. I'm postmenopausal and 9 years struggling.
Me too worst sympton by far I'm peri for about 2 years sick of it but I keep plodding on bloody awful and I thought you just had your last period and that was it, how wrong can I be. Still having periods and each month it's different one month I cope quite well another month I have every peri sympton going xx you are not alone xx
Yuk! I too get bouts of dizziness!!! Out of no where! Sometimes it lasts for seconds and other times lasting for hours! It could also be vertigo. You should probably see your doctor just to rule out any serious problems, but there is a drug called meclizine that is over the counter that is also used to treat vertigo. Good luck and hope you feel better soon! This peri stuff sucks!!!😝
Hiya yep I get this too. Sometimes s few seconds and sometimes for a few days. I guess it's the dreaded peri Hun and best thing is try not to panic-but easier said than done I know! As with anything if it goes on too long or gets worse maybe worth a quick chat with the doc? Hope things are improving for you xx
YES!! I'm dizzy, off balance, headaches/ migraines, nausea, foggy thinking. I have 2 sisters also with dizziness during peri/ menopause. One sister is on oestrogen patches and low dose Endep and says she now has no dizziness. I can't take HRT so I have just started with a chiropractor who specialises in vestibular (balance centres) rehabilitation...so with the adjustments he's giving me special exercises to retrain my brain....going well so far but early days yet... ( it seems to be not just hormonal with me, but did get lot worse peri)
Hi, I have had the off balance feeling when walking about and that cause me to have Anixety fearing I'm going to fall but you never do...loads of us gets this or Dizzness I've had CT scan few years ago and then went on to seeing Neurologist and she did a number of checks and rule out nothing..so I don't think it's anything to worry about, our hormones are like a rollercoaster and when they go high up down they come with speed that's why we have all this but it will pass.
How about the fatigue, that too goes with menopause? I can go almost all day till early afternoon and the fatigue kicks in. Has anyone usedown Estroven Energy over the counter, wondering if this helps us going through menpause.
Yes, I even had worse than that one morning I got up and I felt like I was in twilight zone dizzy died by even describe it good enough It was like I was dizzy spacey and twilight zone feeling walking was weird and so was my head very scary and lasted for most of the morning I wish I could describe it better like been drugged for surgery !
Yes I have had balance problems since 2013 when I was 44. I was originally diagnosed with Labyrinthitis and then migraines but I am convinced it is all a part of perimenopause xx
I experience this every day...even when I'm lying down. It.gets worse if I'm in stuffy overheated or poorly ventilated places. Constantly tripping up or dropping things. I spend 80% of my day 'breathimg' through the anxiety it brings on when I'm experiencing it. Definitely believe it's a menopausal symptom as lots of other woman experience this (I did have lots of tests when I first experienced it...if you haven't had them already may help take some of the worry away? I had MRI scan and heart tests. Now it's still hard to deal with but I can keep reminding myself it's just hormones.
I didn't have this issue but my cousin did. She had balance issues and also couldn't walk a straight line. She would be walking beside someone and all of a sudden she would be bumping into them. She went to all kind of doctors(she even went to a neurologist)but all tests were normal. This symptom did eventually pass. God bless you and feel better soon.
Yes, dizziness was my first symptom, actually neck tightness and vertigo. I had it for 2 years now, most of it seemsto be coming from my allergies and sinuses, some from my stomach or gall bladder. Especially before I burp, and I burp many imes recently, I have never had this in my life!!! Some days my right side seems not even with my left side, I have a feeling that half of mybody is pushed forward. this is when i feel dizziness as well.
Hi i can only say those were my symtom as well at d moment am in bed with d sinus an upset tummy also trying to fight of anxiety. Wat am trying to say is yes its d beginning. But plz do chk a dr.

Wish it would pass soon, menpause had taken over my life, so fatigued now and worry wart too.
