It's amazing how Eileen is able to touch on every thing we go through during this challenging period of our lives. I don't feel like an oddball anymore and know that what I'm experiencing is normal. I have been to the doctor several times because of these symptoms to find out NOTHING was wrong with me (like Eileen said could happen).
This video makes me feel so much better. I have been pretty good so far @53. I drink alot less caffeine than b4 but during exercise around 20 minutes in I sometimes, not every time, feel like I am working too hard. I am not. So my body is telling me to pause or take a break. I will begin to feel lightheaded if I don't and I get scared as I feel like fainting. This video made me feel so validated.
You know I thought I had got a lot of good info on the subject , but you dear Eileen have totally picked it apart and no one else I have watched on TH-cam has given me this info. You are a genius mate ! I was convinced I was dying !!!!
Also Google Power Surge. That article was a life-saver for me! My doctor had no idea and sent me away several times in tears, the hospital did the same (I almost fell over after they had insisted I go home) several times, the top endocrinologist here didn't know and didn't help me. The doctors are USELESS. This lady's post was fantastic - although she could've given more info with regards to getting your hormones tested properly, she's at least got most of it sussed and is helping women from home for free! That's amazing in and of itself ❤
I have the worst symptoms when im going to ovulate since i went into perimenopause...I get Severe Bodyaches, headaches, chills, nausea, lower obdominal and back, pain, Anxiety, fluttering, chest pressure...I honestly feel like my body is just giving up on me. I feel like the oddball...i ended up in the ER several times this year...which i feel crazy, embarresed, and frustrated to go to the hospital feeling im dying and the DR. say "everything is normal"...how is that possible??? Please help me feel better...i just pray and hope i wake up 1 day and feel normal...myself🙏
Would you like to email me privately with your symptoms, age and if your periods are still regular or are changing and I may be able to suggest some things to help you? eileen@bioforce.co.uk
I get the same thing. I feel like I am dying 2 weeks out of every month. It's like a switch goes on then off just like that! Then I'm on top of the world for 2 weeks. I feel like I just want to give up. I am afraid that menopause is going to kill me. I have no family or friends to talk with just my husband who doesn't understand and thinks I'm nuts. I am 52 and haven't had a period for almost 8 months. I am exhausted and feel like I did back when I was in my teens. I keep getting shingles and psoriasis. (I think its psoriasis).
Hi Genevieve, you may find the acupuncture beneficial too and I would also recommend some Milk Thistle Complex for 2 months. The liver can often get stressed as hormones change and this can affect the skin and nerves and contribute to fatigue and anxiety.
Lezette Gaxiola hi I’m the same...feels like I have been hit by s car.. I don’t mean it in a bad way.. but it’s great to know.. that other women have got the same thing.. 🥰🙏🏻
I'm so glad I found this video, thank you, thank you, thank you! I was ready to launch a business I've dreamed about for 15 years on January 1, 2020 but in October of 2019 I hit a brick wall with crazy symptoms all of a sudden. Dizziness, severe anxiety, this feeling of an adrenaline rush (which sounds like a hot flush but I don't feel like I'm on fire), my face gets hot, I'm freezing and need a load of blankets, heart flutters, the overwhelming need to lay down and take a nap? What in the world???? In January 2020 instead of launching my business I get the "yes, you are perimenopausal" with nothing else. No "so this is what we are going to do, this is what you can do, this is what will happen, etc" Just yep, you are, good luck with that. I literally just sent a long message to my Dr after just now having another "episode" and decided, that's it, I've had enough, I need more help than what I'm getting. Your mind goes to crazy places, Am I dying? Do I have diabetes? Am I having a heart attack? Will I wake up tomorrow?. Gracious! LOL This video helped tremendously! Thank you again, I am now a subscriber for sure!
Hi Regina You're welcome, glad to be of help! Yes, do chase your doctor to investigate this further for you; it could be something as simple as low blood pressure or even low B12.
Omg Regina, I can soooooooo much relate to what you said! It's bloody INCREDIBLE. You wonder how and why the body DOES this crap to us! As if periods weren't inconvenient enough our whole lives. Sheesh! Lol x
Everything you listed is what I’m experiencing! I’ve been to the doctor and all my lab work cane back normal. My FSH level looked okay too. I’m 48 and still having periods, though they come a bit closer now. I actually feel great when I have my period and then the lightheaded, anxiety, fatigue come back. I take a multivitamin but would love to know if there’s something else I can add like magnesium or iron.
Omg ,i feel you! My symptoms makes me crazy, feels im dying tonight,tomorrow, or later😥, i had horrible symptoms which attacks at the same time ,heart palps,raising thoughs ,dizziness, lightheaded, nauseous, panic, joint pains,leg muscles pain,tinnitus, weakness . . . Who wouldnt think of dying with those at the same time?😥

Hi Melly Hopefully the tips in the article will be of help for you but if you think your iron levels are being affected too then ask your doctor to check them again for you. Low iron can trigger a raft of symptoms such as fatigue, low mood/anxiety, poor sleep and joint pains so it does need monitoring.
Noise noise bother me.it can be anything.I am afraid I mine going death.I have to put cotton ball in my ears all the time.I can hear my heart pounding,beat,shaking I can hear everything

Finally!!!!! So wish I had known this then. This was one of my major symptoms in peri menopause. It wasn't happening when I was getting up suddenly... my blood pressure seemed normal ... I didn't have any neck injury... so my doctor could not confirm a medical reason. It was happening often while I was outside playing in my flowers despite a good breakfast and despite water intake and it was happening at the end of my daily walk. It rarely happens now that I am in menopause. However last time it happened ... I took a few dates (didn't change much) then I took a banana... and it almost immediately felt better - bingo!
You're welcome Rachel. Hope my tips are helpful but still maybe an idea to check with your doctor to rule out issues such as low blood pressure. Best Wishes Eileen
Hi have you done a video on the cravings... it’s like being pregnant.. I really try to resist but I find myself up at night in the kitchen cupboards looking for chocolate. I am very strict with my eating habits but certain times of the month I’m like a human dustbin and that doesn’t help the headaches etc.. great video 🙏🏻💖
Hi Sarah Yes, you should find enough info in this video blog. Cravings are really common; this is nothing to do with lack of willpower, it is your body going into survival mode (because of all the hormonal changes going on) which is really difficult to fight but hopefully the tips I give will make a difference for you. www.avogel.co.uk/health/menopause/videos/how-menopause-affects-blood-sugar-levels/
Sarah Brennan, me too! It's 10.30 PM here in Australia where I am and I just ate 2 ice creams. I'm sitting here thinking I might go in for a 3rd! Lol. Chips and chocolate, chips and chocolate every single night just about. I am going to gain SO much weight!! 😫😭
It happened to me last night. I woke up to a hot flash and sweating. I got up to go to the bathroom, and the room was spinning. It happened to me about a year or so ago. I recovered, but it's still scary.
Very informative video Good afternoon mam. I am of 49 years old. My last period was four months back, on 10th November 2021. From last three months I am experiencing half head numbness in between.... Right head Did brain MRI and City scan, all blood and eye tests, ECG. All reports full normal No problem anywhere. Taking medicine regularly prescribed by Doctor, eating home made healthy food, vegetables, nuts fruits, Daily exercising for one hour Still numbness didn't reduce So can you please tell me why I feel head numbness??? Please guide me
Hi Sandhyanjali Well done for looking after yourself well, this is so important! Mystery numbness could be caused by postural changes due to falling hormones. I would suggest going to see a Chiropractor, they can check to see if there are any spinal issues and offer a treatment plan for you. Best Wishes Eileen
Hi Lynn I would get this checked out by your doctor to rule out issues such as Meniere's Disease, labyrinthitis or vertigo just in case something needs treatment. Also check your hydration and eat little and often to avoid low blood sugars which could be a trigger. Best Wishes Eileen
Shorter periods, lighter periods, still regular every month. I've been suffering chronic fatigue for over 2 years. Have had iron infusions and they didn't help either :(
Why do blood sugar levels become erratic? I swear, again, I am SO over it! I don't drink coffee/caffeine or alcohol and I don't smoke. I feel like I'm going to faint most of the day and I have a rocking sensation 😫😫😫
Erratic blood sugar levels are really common in the menopause and often caused just by falling oestrogen. If this happens really regularly it may be an idea to ask your doctor to test you for diabetes as this can often appear in the menopause
@@AvogelCoUk thank you! As per the DUTCH test - and my functional doctor, my estrogen levels are apparently fine and strong. My progesterone level however is extremely low. I have Crohn's disease though (not active) and I have a very good feeling that it's my adrenals that are on the blink. I've been to the ED twice telling them that i'm weak and I fainted. They still turned me away and sent me home. Twice. Today I'm feeling worse than ever. This hormone/peri thing is the pits! :( x
I have noticed the past couple weeks I noticed my body shifted gears I was exercising and got light headed and dizzy and the tiredness was unexplainable along with anxiety😱 a cold shower and water helped but I will include the ginko and sage into my diet.
That happened to me at the gym. It followed by extreme anxiety as I got really scared. I now know I was having a hot flash during my workout! I know the warning b4 so when I feel the extreme tiredness all of a sudden, I take a break and alot of water. Some flashes can take 5 minutes to pass and then I carry on.
Have anyone ever fainted during menopause? I'm trying to figure out why my mother fainted..before fainting she was hot and said she didn't feel good. Next thing you know she was passing out. It was the most scariest thing I've seen ! She was admitted in the hospital they tested her heart, her brain and checked for blood clots they couldnt find the reason why she fainted. It's a mystery I worry it could happen again when I'm not with her and she hit her head or something. btw it was the first occurrence and she is going through menopause.. concerned daughter .😢
Hi Lovely Fainting can happen in the menopause and may be due to several factors such as a sudden dip in blood pressure, dehydration, low blood sugar levels or even severe anxiety. It's difficult to say if this will happen again but you can say to her to make sure that she eats little and often (doesn't go long periods without food) and drinks plenty of plain water and that should help. Best Wishes Eileen
Hi Lolita An ongoing thirst can indicate other health issues such as diabetes so it is important to tell your doctor about this, just to rule it out. Best Wishes Eileen
How do I find out what is causing the light headedness ? Process of elimination. Some days it does not happen , but more offer that not it happens every day. I got to the shops or out walking with a friend and I feel drunk and disoriented. It I sit down to have lunch , I almost could fall asleep. If I have lunch then carry on with my walking , I feel drugged again. Last week I happened to have some of a oreo smoothie that my God daughter had offered me - blimey , it took all my stamina to keep myself from slumping to the floor. What is happening to me Eileen ? If it's the low blood sugar thing , then I dont know what to do , cos I have something sugary as suggested and then it nearly knocks me out. If I could lick this , then I would just about have the peri menopause sorted. I know I am not diabetic as I have had 3 tests for in in the last 2 years . Although my GP is crap so who's to say they got it wrong. Or is it all just chronic anxiety ?
Hi Sallyanne It is best to avoid sugary foods as these can cause a big hit and dip of your blood sugars making symptoms worse (an oreo smoothie is probably jam packed with sugar!!) so you may find avoiding these will make a difference. Main meals should contain protein, healthy fats, veg and a small amount of healthy carbs, snacks should focus on protein and healthy fats. Has your doctor tested you for low blood pressure and low iron as these could cause dizziness too? Dehydration can be an issue too so make sure that you are drinking lots of plain water - not sugary drinks or fruit juices. Why not do a food/drink diary, note down everything you eat and drink and when and also when you get an episode of dizziness and if you look back an hour or so you should find if anything you ate or drank or if missing meals or not eating snacks could be the trigger. Meals. Please do check out my videos on blood sugar issues. www.avogel.co.uk/health/menopause/videos/how-menopause-affects-blood-sugar-levels/ www.avogel.co.uk/health/menopause/videos/sugar-cravings-and-appetite-changes/
Suede Dogs, google non-diabetic hypoglycemic reaction. I get exactly what you described too. It's a frikkin pain in the butt! As if the normal (chronic) fatigue isn't bad enough :( I'm having almost all of the 35 symptoms related to perimenopause. There has to be a reason why we have certain symptoms and imo the hormone deficiencies NEED to be treated with bioidentical hormones. What this lovely lady suggests is very healthy indeed, but I've tried it all and it hasn't improved the way I feel. I try to eat healthy most of the time (it's only the last week that i've started binging a bit - but that isn't normal for me) and I force myself to exercise in some way every single day. I had the B12 injections and an iron infusion but none of it improved my energy levels or the dizziness/lightheadness at all 😟 I'm going to see my functional doctor next week and I'm going to tell her the bioidentical hormones I want to try. You HAVE to be your own doctor through all this as the GP's often have NO idea about the scope of perimenopause symptoms :( I have researched SO much. I've found Dr Northrup's articles to be extremely helpful too :) Good luck. Hope you feel better soon! x
Every morning I feel tired, light headed, throughout the morning I feel spinning sensations . Is this related to premenopausal ? How long does it last? I been like this for weeks.
Hi Melinda Dehydration is a big factor here so remember to drink lots of plain water throughout the day and have a small shot glass of warm water just before bed. Low blood sugars can be another trigger so have a good snack mid evening. However, it is important to get this checked by your doctor as well just in case other health issues such as low blood pressure could be a reason. Unfortunately, it is really difficult to say how long this may last as it is different for every woman and can depend on your general health, diet and lifestyle.
hehehheheh, 3 weeks, I'm on 3 years!!!! dizzy, lightheaded, nausea, loss of balance Bla bla bla. yes, been to the quacks. "nothing" wrong with me!! periods all over the place, only had a few hot flushes, a few night sweats. seems to be dizziness, spinning head etc etc is my thing
@@hoipoloie well join the club......I have lightheadedness from neck pain which in the MENOPAUSE is even worst than ever......I am on a Physio programme and everything that hurt susided and the Dizziness took over...talk about confusing....I am also taking a light iron tablet because my HCT and hemoglobin were a bit low.....OTERWISE than that I am as strong as an elephant....when I am not dizzy that is!!!!!!Thank you for your 5 bits worth!!!!!
Very scary when all this happens. 😱 I was put into Menopause last year. Do I still need to take iron medication? I was told to continue to take it, but I have started to get too many Palpatations. I have no ovaries left.😢 I have also read iron causes heart disease. What can Women like me do? Thanks.👍
I wonder if menopausal women who are taking the contraceptive pil are having those symptoms too, or if they get through everything much “smoother”. I know one woman who is on the pil, she says she’s feeling absolutely fine. But .... so many risks/eventually serious side-effects involved as well. On the other hand, natural remedies sometimes just do not help enough. Difficult choice.
Hi Yes, it can be a difficult choice, however, many women get through the menopause without HRT and fare very well. All we suggest is that if you are managing OK then there should be no need to take it. Some women do find that when they have to come off it they can get withdrawal symptoms similar or worse to the original menopause ones they had to start with!
Same here. I am 41 who is experiencing dizziness in my perimenopause stage. Mam, I would like to know how long perimenopause stage stays on an average?
It depends on every person but can last up to ten years. Dizziness is actually very common in perimenopause. However, dizziness can have other causes, so it should be properly investigated in case it’s not connected to hormonal changes. It is best to check with your doctor for symptoms like this.
@@AvogelCoUk Mam thank you so much for your reply. Mam, my other factors are investigated and other factors are ruled out. I am having dizziness due to my perimenopause stage confirmed by my family physician.
Hi Rashikala Your skin anywhere can get much more sensitive and also tension can occur in the neck muscles affecting the head. Maybe try organic shampoos and add in a magnesium supplement to help reduce muscle tension. Best Wishes Eileen
Hi Elizabeth Dizziness can be caused by a number of factors such as low blood pressure or poor insulin control so it is important to get this checked out by your doctor. Best Wishes Eileen

Cravings are really common; this is nothing to do with lack of willpower, it is your body going into survival mode (because of all the hormonal changes going on) which is really difficult to fight but hopefully the tips I give will make a difference for you. www.avogel.co.uk/health/menopause/videos/how-menopause-affects-blood-sugar-levels/
Sarah Brennan, me too! It's 10.30 PM here in Australia where I am and I just ate 2 ice creams. I'm sitting here thinking I might go in for a 3rd! Lol. Chips and chocolate, chips and chocolate every single night just about. I am going to gain SO much weight!! 😫😭
Headache very pain..menopause
It happened to me last night. I woke up to a hot flash and sweating. I got up to go to the bathroom, and the room was spinning. It happened to me about a year or so ago. I recovered, but it's still scary.
Hope you feel better now Marie, maybe just get your blood pressure checked soon

Very informative video
Good afternoon mam.
I am of 49 years old.
My last period was four months back, on 10th November 2021.
From last three months I am experiencing half head numbness in between.... Right head
Did brain MRI and City scan, all blood and eye tests, ECG.
All reports full normal
No problem anywhere.
Taking medicine regularly prescribed by Doctor, eating home made healthy food, vegetables, nuts fruits,
Daily exercising for one hour
Still numbness didn't reduce
So can you please tell me why I feel head numbness???
Please guide me
Hi Sandhyanjali
Well done for looking after yourself well, this is so important! Mystery numbness could be caused by postural changes due to falling hormones. I would suggest going to see a Chiropractor, they can check to see if there are any spinal issues and offer a treatment plan for you.

I have that numbness, too. Makes me feel spacey, it's awful and doctors don't know the cause. I hope you're doing better since posting this.

Very helpful 👍
Gingo biloba is good for anxiety
I get dizzy but have no hot flushes. Why does my GP say that dizziness is not a symptom of menopause?
Hi Sue
In our experience dizziness is quite a common problem in the menopause so not sure why they would say this?

I feel at times I am on a boat! That is what happens when I get up from a chair to quick or I ate only a small breakfast.
Hi Lynn
I would get this checked out by your doctor to rule out issues such as Meniere's Disease, labyrinthitis or vertigo just in case something needs treatment.
Also check your hydration and eat little and often to avoid low blood sugars which could be a trigger.

Can this still occur in estrogen DOMINANCE...?! :( I am dizzy & lightheaded 24/7. I am sooooo over it!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Shorter periods, lighter periods, still regular every month. I've been suffering chronic fatigue for over 2 years. Have had iron infusions and they didn't help either :(
Why do blood sugar levels become erratic? I swear, again, I am SO over it! I don't drink coffee/caffeine or alcohol and I don't smoke. I feel like I'm going to faint most of the day and I have a rocking sensation 😫😫😫
Erratic blood sugar levels are really common in the menopause and often caused just by falling oestrogen. If this happens really regularly it may be an idea to ask your doctor to test you for diabetes as this can often appear in the menopause
@@AvogelCoUk thank you! As per the DUTCH test - and my functional doctor, my estrogen levels are apparently fine and strong. My progesterone level however is extremely low. I have Crohn's disease though (not active) and I have a very good feeling that it's my adrenals that are on the blink. I've been to the ED twice telling them that i'm weak and I fainted. They still turned me away and sent me home. Twice.
Today I'm feeling worse than ever. This hormone/peri thing is the pits! :( x
I have noticed the past couple weeks I noticed my body shifted gears I was exercising and got light headed and dizzy and the tiredness was unexplainable along with anxiety😱 a cold shower and water helped but I will include the ginko and sage into my diet.
That happened to me at the gym. It followed by extreme anxiety as I got really scared. I now know I was having a hot flash during my workout! I know the warning b4 so when I feel the extreme tiredness all of a sudden, I take a break and alot of water. Some flashes can take 5 minutes to pass and then I carry on.
I get this when wake up at night and try to go to bathroom.
This can often happen if you get up too quickly after sleeping!

Have anyone ever fainted during menopause? I'm trying to figure out why my mother fainted..before fainting she was hot and said she didn't feel good. Next thing you know she was passing out. It was the most scariest thing I've seen ! She was admitted in the hospital they tested her heart, her brain and checked for blood clots they couldnt find the reason why she fainted.
It's a mystery I worry it could happen again when I'm not with her and she hit her head or something.
btw it was the first occurrence and she is going through menopause..
concerned daughter .😢
Hi Lovely
Fainting can happen in the menopause and may be due to several factors such as a sudden dip in blood pressure, dehydration, low blood sugar levels or even severe anxiety. It's difficult to say if this will happen again but you can say to her to make sure that she eats little and often (doesn't go long periods without food) and drinks plenty of plain water and that should help.
Best Wishes Eileen
Always thirsty even i drink too much water...why
Hi Lolita
An ongoing thirst can indicate other health issues such as diabetes so it is important to tell your doctor about this, just to rule it out.
Best Wishes
Eileen
Thanks
You're welcome!
How do I find out what is causing the light headedness ? Process of elimination. Some days it does not happen , but more offer that not it happens every day. I got to the shops or out walking with a friend and I feel drunk and disoriented. It I sit down to have lunch , I almost could fall asleep. If I have lunch then carry on with my walking , I feel drugged again. Last week I happened to have some of a oreo smoothie that my God daughter had offered me - blimey , it took all my stamina to keep myself from slumping to the floor. What is happening to me Eileen ? If it's the low blood sugar thing , then I dont know what to do , cos I have something sugary as suggested and then it nearly knocks me out. If I could lick this , then I would just about have the peri menopause sorted. I know I am not diabetic as I have had 3 tests for in in the last 2 years . Although my GP is crap so who's to say they got it wrong. Or is it all just chronic anxiety ?
Hi Sallyanne
It is best to avoid sugary foods as these can cause a big hit and dip of your blood sugars making symptoms worse (an oreo smoothie is probably jam packed with sugar!!) so you may find avoiding these will make a difference. Main meals should contain protein, healthy fats, veg and a small amount of healthy carbs, snacks should focus on protein and healthy fats. Has your doctor tested you for low blood pressure and low iron as these could cause dizziness too?
Dehydration can be an issue too so make sure that you are drinking lots of plain water - not sugary drinks or fruit juices. Why not do a food/drink diary, note down everything you eat and drink and when and also when you get an episode of dizziness and if you look back an hour or so you should find if anything you ate or drank or if missing meals or not eating snacks could be the trigger. Meals. Please do check out my videos on blood sugar issues.

Suede Dogs, google non-diabetic hypoglycemic reaction. I get exactly what you described too. It's a frikkin pain in the butt! As if the normal (chronic) fatigue isn't bad enough :( I'm having almost all of the 35 symptoms related to perimenopause. There has to be a reason why we have certain symptoms and imo the hormone deficiencies NEED to be treated with bioidentical hormones. What this lovely lady suggests is very healthy indeed, but I've tried it all and it hasn't improved the way I feel. I try to eat healthy most of the time (it's only the last week that i've started binging a bit - but that isn't normal for me) and I force myself to exercise in some way every single day. I had the B12 injections and an iron infusion but none of it improved my energy levels or the dizziness/lightheadness at all 😟 I'm going to see my functional doctor next week and I'm going to tell her the bioidentical hormones I want to try. You HAVE to be your own doctor through all this as the GP's often have NO idea about the scope of perimenopause symptoms :( I have researched SO much. I've found Dr Northrup's articles to be extremely helpful too :) Good luck. Hope you feel better soon! x
Dizziness an lightheaded Ness an my presure getting high
Every morning I feel tired, light headed, throughout the morning I feel spinning sensations . Is this related to premenopausal ? How long does it last? I been like this for weeks.
Hi Melinda
Dehydration is a big factor here so remember to drink lots of plain water throughout the day and have a small shot glass of warm water just before bed. Low blood sugars can be another trigger so have a good snack mid evening. However, it is important to get this checked by your doctor as well just in case other health issues such as low blood pressure could be a reason. Unfortunately, it is really difficult to say how long this may last as it is different for every woman and can depend on your general health, diet and lifestyle.
@@AvogelCoUk Thank you. Today was actually a better day for me. Thank God!
Great to hear - hopefully tomorrow will be too. Do let us know how you get on.
hehehheheh, 3 weeks, I'm on 3 years!!!! dizzy, lightheaded, nausea, loss of balance Bla bla bla. yes, been to the quacks. "nothing" wrong with me!! periods all over the place, only had a few hot flushes, a few night sweats. seems to be dizziness, spinning head etc etc is my thing
@@hoipoloie well join the club......I have lightheadedness from neck pain which in the MENOPAUSE is even worst than ever......I am on a Physio programme and everything that hurt susided and the Dizziness took over...talk about confusing....I am also taking a light iron tablet because my HCT and hemoglobin were a bit low.....OTERWISE than that I am as strong as an elephant....when I am not dizzy that is!!!!!!Thank you for your 5 bits worth!!!!!
Very scary when all this happens. 😱 I was put into Menopause last year. Do I still need to take iron medication? I was told to continue to take it, but I have started to get too many Palpatations. I have no ovaries left.😢 I have also read iron causes heart disease. What can Women like me do? Thanks.👍
Hi A
I would just check with your pharmacist as they can tell you whether you need to continue with the iron.

When is the best time to take sage as I have night sweats and hot flushes during the day. Thank you.
Hi Michelle
If you are getting both day and night symptoms it is best to take the tablet with your evening meal.

Thank you so much
You're welcome!
I wonder if menopausal women who are taking the contraceptive pil are having those symptoms too, or if they get through everything much “smoother”.
I know one woman who is on the pil, she says she’s feeling absolutely fine.
But .... so many risks/eventually serious side-effects involved as well.
On the other hand, natural remedies sometimes just do not help enough.
Difficult choice.
Hi
Yes, it can be a difficult choice, however, many women get through the menopause without HRT and fare very well. All we suggest is that if you are managing OK then there should be no need to take it. Some women do find that when they have to come off it they can get withdrawal symptoms similar or worse to the original menopause ones they had to start with!
C. C. I have a IUD and I have these symptoms
Hi could perimenopause cause fainting spell.
Yes, it is possible, but do get your blood pressure checked in case it is more to do with this
Best Wishes

Same here. I am 41 who is experiencing dizziness in my perimenopause stage. Mam, I would like to know how long perimenopause stage stays on an average?
It depends on every person but can last up to ten years. Dizziness is actually very common in perimenopause. However, dizziness can have other causes, so it should be properly investigated in case it’s not connected to hormonal changes. It is best to check with your doctor for symptoms like this.
@@AvogelCoUk Mam thank you so much for your reply. Mam, my other factors are investigated and other factors are ruled out. I am having dizziness due to my perimenopause stage confirmed by my family physician.
@@ruchirabanerjee6104 Here is an blog I wrote on the topic which you might find helpful! www.avogel.co.uk/health/menopause/symptoms/dizziness/
Mam..I'm 43 and in Peri menopause. My skull aches when I touch in some areas in periods. Is it possible
Hi Rashikala
Your skin anywhere can get much more sensitive and also tension can occur in the neck muscles affecting the head. Maybe try organic shampoos and add in a magnesium supplement to help reduce muscle tension.

Eileen
What about vertigo please thank s
Hi Patricia
You would use the same advice as for dizziness but you can also try the Ginkgo Biloba.
Dizzy and hot but I don't think I'm having a heavy. I'm too young
Hi Elizabeth
Dizziness can be caused by a number of factors such as low blood pressure or poor insulin control so it is important to get this checked out by your doctor.

Eileen
It could be high blood pressure also
Hi Marlean
Absolutely, that's why it's important to get BP checked regularly in the menopause.
