Read some of our customer ratingsIt is not uncommon for most women to experience a turn of light-headedness during the menopause. This is due to changing hormone levels affecting our circulation. Recurring episodes of dizziness can become a problem. Here, our menopause expert Eileen Durward approaches the issue and offers a range of herbal alternatives to ease the symptom.
During the menopause, women may experience brief, unexpected moments of dizziness, which can make them feel unsettled for a time, even after the sensation has eased. There are three types of sensation that can be experienced with dizziness: the feeling that everything is spinning or whirling; a feeling of loss of balance; or a feeling as if you are going to faint.
Dizziness may occur as a result of another menopause symptom such as anxiety or panic attacks. If suffering from these symptoms, breathing and heart rate levels become rapid and unsteady. This change in breathing can disturb the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain, causing dizziness.
The exact causes of dizziness, like so many menopause symptoms, are unclear. However, during the menopause, your body goes through huge hormonal changes. These can result in a variety of symptoms including dizziness.
Oestrogen and progesterone are the female hormones that change the most during the menopause, and are the reason behind most of the symptoms. As the levels of these hormones change they can have an effect on circulation and blood vessels, resulting in bouts of dizziness as blood pressure fluctuates.
There are other symptoms of the menopause that can also make a woman feel dizzy, including anxiety, hot flushes, stress or panic attacks. The root of these problems can usually be assigned to hormone fluctuations as well.
In some cases, dizziness may not be related to the menopause, but be triggered by another medical condition or health problem such as low blood sugar, low blood pressure, low iron levels, dehydration, viral infections or ear infections. If this is the case then you will need to seek medical advice to clear the problem.
It is worth trying these simple home remedies to see if these ease your symptoms:
If you still feel dizzy after implementing these home remedies, then it is worth seeking medical advice. Dizziness can be a serious condition, particularly if it doesn’t go away after a few days. Your doctor will be able to confirm if your dizziness is a symptom of the menopause, and may prescribe treatments specifically for dizziness, or hormone treatments, such as HRT. Before taking any medication you should discuss the side effects with your doctor to establish if it is the best treatment for you.
It is important to rule out other causes of dizziness and you may need to speak to your doctor in order to achieve this. If it has been established that your dizziness is related to the menopause, the first thing you could do is to use a supplement containing soy isoflavones which can help to stabilise your hormones.

Hi Sam
You would need to go and see your doctor about this as only they can advise you on how to go from here, we are not allowed to advise on prescribed drug use, sorry.

Hi Sam
Hopefully the tips above will help with your dizziness but you could try the Menopause Support as well, this is fine with HRT, although it could take about 4 weeks to start showing benefit.

Hi Eileen I have received my menopause support and started taking the tablets as you said they were ok to take with HRT Elleste duet. I also read that you need to take B12 vitamins . Can I also take feroglobin capsules. I suffer with the lightheadness and dizziness mostly thank you sam

HI Sam
B12 is best taken as part of a vitamin B Complex unless you have been diagnosed with B12 deficiency by your doctor. If you have had a few heavy periods then a short course of Feroglobin should be fine
