I am sorry to hear that you are still suffering I know that anxiety makes it so much worse but it is very hard not to worry when we feel like this. I try to tell myself to stay calm and that it will pass but sometimes its there all the time and then come the palpitations because i panic that it might be something more serious than hormones. I wish you good days soon.
Hello everyone… I have had lightheadedness on and off about 25 out of 30 days a month for the last six months. I have went to several doctors and many tests to try to figure out what’s wrong with me. no one knows. I have asked several women if they had lightheadedness or dizziness during menopause none of them have. but then I look on here and there’s a lot of people that have it. I have tried to write down when it’s worse and when it isn’t there’s no Rhyme or Reason to it it comes and goes good days bad days all day only in the evenings. it is truly driving me crazy cuz I can’t get rid of it it’s very aggravating. I just want it 2 Go away. I am 49 years old and have a very heavy period, no hot flashes… So I’m sure I’m perimenopausal. can someone please tell me will hormones pills help this? or will it ever go away? I AM GOING CRAZY AND I HATE THIS LIGHTHEADEDNESS… LIFE SUCKS GETTN OLD!
Hi Im another Jacqui with similar symtoms lol what is BCP
i FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME AS YOU - DOES HRT HELP
Hi, you are not alone. I just started feeling like this and I don’t like it at all. My sleep pattern has changed I wake up at night and hard to fall back to sleep…ugh! I’m 48 December I’ll be 49 and I’ve been in perimenopause for about 4 years now but feels like longer lol. I love this forum it really helps me get through my symptoms and I know i’m not alone with with what we are going through. I try not to get my self worried about things hard to do tho. Guess we just have to take it one day at a time and know it too shall pass.
Take care
Hi .
I get the weird feelings in my head, like i am out of sync with my body. I feel off balance an tingling feelings. keep thinking i am having a stroke or something more serious.
It is exhausting as it sends me into a panic attack.
Hope you are ok.
I get this also, It sends my anxiety thru the roof
This is me too! Thought I was losing the plot. Peri 5 years at 55yrs and every 2 or 3 months something new and occasionally dropping a symptom for it to return months later
HI! I understand your distress and can relate. I routinely have the sensation of being off kilter and that my body is responding a little slowly to the signals my brain is sending it. It is unsettling I also get weird sensations in my head and pressure at the back of my head mostly, but sometimes I get pressure in my head all over. It’s like the muscles in my head aren’t quite happy. And I often hear my heartbeat in my ears when i lie down- it’s especially loud in my right ear. My doctor chalks it all up to fluctuating hormones. It’s hard, but you’re not alone!
I was having hot flushes but just my face /cheeks my face would feel like it was on fire and would last hours, (when you get one next time get 2 flannels or anything really, run it under cold tap and then squeeze out excess water and place them on both cheeks,
When I would get them (I still do), I feel off balance and slight nausea with head pain
If we think about it having our cheeks flush for hours it’s pumping blood faster so I think it’s obviously gonna make us feel weird,
I’ve started having the hot “feet” again in the nights, my partner gets me a pair of socks that he has dampened to place on my feet, the things we have to do 
,
Don’t know if anyone else is having a dry mouth before sleep and waking up no saliva at all,
I feel like I get thrown a new symptom every few days 
As for your heart, because we notice things we now look out for them that is what started my panic attacks off,
Try listen to guided meditation to help take your focus off it x
hi
I am new feeling alone single anti social 52yrs old feeling the same ..crying.scared etc my period came as spot brown one day and cramps still..crazy hot flashes,heart racing back pain goes on.thanks to this site
feel same i new too this..
Nagiag,
I’m the same hun, I’m 43 and I don’t make friends, lost my old ones when I moved,
Don’t have any interests anymore, this whole perimenopause put my life on complete hold,
My glass is always “half empty”
Would give anything to see the glass “half full”,
I push my partner away he sleeps in the spare bedroom and I console myself by cuddling into my dog,
Today I woke up with a shock I felt almost okay, felt good, I thought I’m gonna get out of bed and take dog for a walk, that didn’t last long,
But I cleaned the house for the first time in a Long time,
I hope this lasts (have a feeling its going to be those 3-4 days a month I feel okay,
But I have just started taking health supplements (after reading some books),
“Agnus Castus” one in the morning and one in the evening and also in the morning I take “Vitamin B6” and also “Calcium”,
Fingers crossed they may be working,
When you get heart palpitations try to put your focus on something else, because our mind focuses on it, we start panicking,
Can’t tell u how many times I’ve been to AnE convinced I’m having a heart attack,
And breath deep, and tell yourself it WILL pass,
Try to take calcium to help maintain your bones,
I’m here if you need to talk to anyone hun, I know that all of this is just awful but know that now you are not alone xx
I am 45 and I get all the above spent a day in hospital because my heart rate would not go down heavy head feeling full ears wrenching anxiety in my stomach insomnia sore throat its neverending off balance every day labs are good but cardiologist is ruling out any issues because you can get pvcs arrythmias in peri I take olive leaf this helps tremendously with head pressure full ear ringing in ears. We will get through this I am so over this. I eat healthy low weight work out not as much not helping like i would like i may have one good week. I am here for you!
what about spinning while a sleep anyone experienced this also had on sets of just sitting & feeling my head is swaying sensation is this menopause ?
hi i have spinning every couple days I have it now as I’m writing this. I feel like I’m swaying . I kind of try to relax and just think it will go away. If you think to much it can get worse . I feel better knowing a lot of women have the same thing. I am 52 and get my period every 5 months , it seems to be getting worse this month. I hope its almost over I want to feel normal again.
Hi ladies, I’m new here sorry to hear all of you are going through this, Im 47 and I haven’t had a period in 5 months so I’m sure its peri, have been dealing with severe head heaviness and pressure, which is completely driving me crazy, heart races, internal shaking almost constantly, nausea, muscle twitches, brain fog, tingling in hands, and of course some major anxiety/ panic attacks daily, hope we all make it through this hell, and come out even stronger…this is a nightmare to say the least
I have been having dizziness with feelings of being off balanced along with nausea for two weeks now. I went to the ER and they did a neuro test, checked my blood levels, EKG, Covid and a host of other tests and all were normal–thank God. I just don’t understand this menopause. I haven’t seen my period since February. I guess it went on one of its “mysterious vacations”, i.e. skipping periods. I wonder if it’s coming back or gone for good this time?
oh my goodness i feel EXACTLY like you as i speak! I have been feeling this way for a week every since my period went off i feel off balanced! Im 46 and over i would say the last 9 months is when i started feeling weird i just recently started connecting the dots as to just how long i have been a little off and i must say it stared around 41. I too have ran to the hospital multiple times feeling extra nauseous and blood pressure being high.. I brought up to the doctor that i thought it was perimenopause and that man act as if he didnt even hear me and only wanted to give drugs for blood pressure! i must say though this month is just sooooo bad for me!!! i been crying all morning!!!
I told them at the ER that I was in premenopause and that I hadn’t had a period in a while. That didn’t seem to weigh in on factors as far as they were concerned. They didn’t discount it they just didn’t comment on it. I guess that is like discounting it, huh? I think that I may actually be finished although it hasn’t been 12 months yet. It’s only been 3 months but I’ve heard other women say that once their periods actually stopped that their symptoms got worse. My symptoms have been 10 times worse this time around with anxiety, digestive and bowel issues, migraines, nausea and the dizziness. It’s a nightmare but if I didn’t pray I’d probably crack up.
