Does anyone else come over all peculiar? I'm just sitting down, watching TV and then I get a kind of woozy feeling. Sort of like dizziness but as if the world is twisting around me. If I move around it seems worse. I had labyrinthitis years ago and it sort of feels like that.  My head is in slow motion compared to everything around me! Is this another feature of meno? Honestly I get so anxious about all these twinges. Just had another ECG which is okay apart from having a slow heart rate (52bpm). Got my MRI test results tomorrow so that is probably at the back of my mind. I don't know what it will bring but I hope some clarification at least. Maybe now is the time to think about some kind of medication but worried that it will make me feel worse. Any advice on what to do? I don't have hot flushes or sweats and I had 4 period last year and 3 so far this year. Surely, it must nearly be the end?!

Don't look for an end to all this ......... you may be disappointed for a while 

I have a nerve in the back of my neck which can make me woozy - also if I lean over the computer my head feels funny when I get up.  Sometimes when I put foot to the ground it ends up somewhere else or my thighs go weak whilst I'm walking so I don't step where I think I am going to 

Are you nauseous?

Hi Ambergirl

I can relate to this as I often feel lightheaded and dizzy quite alot. I felt like it yesterday all day. It used to worry me but I now just think it's just my hormones yet again! I do get hot flushes and get headachy regularly but again I just try to think it's nothing sinister. I'm not on hrt and cannot take it but I do take a low dose of citalopram which I find has helped me alot especially with anxiety.

Hi ambergirl!  Yes, I know the feeling.  Kind of like your brain is doing a back flip in your skull.  I also get the pulling head forward sensation while just sitting.  Also, visual vertigo where like my eyes and brain are not in sync.  I was diagnosed with vestibular migraine.  Told that my hormones fluctuating was the culprit.  So I am always dizzy to some extent.  Wonder if your labyrinthitis is making a comeback?  Did you have a virus or an ear infection when you got it?  Did you treat it or did it just burn itself out?
Estrogen plays a role in our balance system.  I started HRT patches 4 mo ago, I am not great, but not any worse.  I tried some meds, but they really made me feel more spacey or caused my heart to race which does wonders for my anxiety    Meclizine only made me exhausted.  Seeing a new neurologist in a couple days to get his thoughts.  Sorry you are dealing with this...it is a horrible feeling
