I've split your thread to make it easier for me to respond to.
During this time I would suffer from vertigo around the time of ovulation. I was originally prescribed fluoxetine, and told to do BPPV exercises. When my symptoms didn’t go away my prescription was doubled and eventually when I started getting hot flushes I was given hrt.
. vertigo is awful, I know as I open my eyes 1st thing that it's going to be a bad day, when I hardly dare move. Fortunately not recently.
I have the marina coil and I’m now on 2 mg of oestrogen.
. how long have you had the marina coil and using the oestrogen?
However, I have always had terrible heartburn. As oestrogen levels drop muscles may become lax = aches and pains as well as the possibility of a hiatus hernia = reflux and heartburn. I have taken omeprazole for several years. Without it I have symptoms.
What has your GP suggested about dieting? Some foods are designed to make the body ready for sustenance but due to the additives they don't fill us up so the gut demands more. DH and I have in the last couple of years cut out ultra processed foods: for years I was able to eat scones, croissants etc., now they upset my gut from top to bottom! We have always eaten as freshly cooked as possible with the occasional fish/chip supper and shop bought pies. Even fish-fingers cause me to taste cod liver oil
. It would however be a brave person to wrest chocolate away from me
If I drink alcohol more that two days in a row I get vertigo lasting three or four days. I also get aches, like flu pains and just feel generally below par. This weekend I had one glass of wine and had an excruciating headache and had to go to bed and then the next day I had two beers and half an hour later the headache was back and I had to sleep it off.
. How much would you miss alcohol? A lot of women have to give up alcohol at 'this time of Life' as our bodies needs alter.
a histamine issue and I am looking at eliminating it from my diet. how do you explain a 'histamine issue'? Alcohol and ethanol have no histamine !
If GPs aren't au fait with perimenopause they will pass off symptoms as something other. I had vertigo one New Year's Eve following a very heavy cold - the GP suggested that I had been drinking! What I found out a few months later was that he 'liked a drink' himself which is why DH had to drive 5 miles to pick up anti-nausea pills!!!
