Thanks for the replies, been trying to track stuff a bit but then today's been way cooler & had a lot less hot flushes. Surrounded by colleagues all on HRT and all telling I MUST be on it "by now" as I'm older than most of them but only really just starting the year up to menopause iyswim despite being older. I don't feel like I need it yet, and am also fairly healthy, but then I don't want to hang on & then turn into an actual puddle of sweat a few months later 🤣
Agree with the post about burning hot husbands too. Forgot to mention the nasty chills I have after each flush too, proper coat on to warm up (until next hot flush then repeat!)

Thanks CLKD , will ask my GP about the sturgeon tablets.

Hi crispychick, thank you so much for your reply although I wish no one else had to suffer this symptom it is a comfort that someone else understands it , yes you describe it so much better than me it is a woozy whooshing type feeling and I can feel so sick at times with it, absolutely horrible, sometimes I just have to lie down.
I honestly thought being post meno my symptoms would calm down and the hrt would just give me a steady dose , but all my symptoms come in phases one calms down another comes back again, so sick of the rollercoaster, literally feel like I’m stuck in a perimenopause type state could this be the hrt causing it .
I think I’m going to reduce my dose and see what happens, thanks for your reply I feel less alone with this weird head symptom. X

Thank you again for the info and for the link about testosterone,  very interesting reading. I'm really hoping I can get prescribed some and I do wonder how many things I'd just put down to 'getting older' might improve because of it.
My husband gave me an odd look when I told him about it and asked if I'd grow a beard and have a deep voice, bless him! I did explain about it but warned him I was hoping to be chasing him round the house soon with a rolled up women's weekly - if you know, you know 

 
Brilliant CLKD. So you "dispatched" the scary
M and S black widow that was lurking at the edge of the towel 🤭

Hey, I think I share this same symptom.

I'd describe if as a woozy wooshing feeling in my head. It's horrible. Often I get motion sickness and a poisioned feeling. I'm still peri and I think it's the estrogen spikes for me.

But the woozy vile head feeling can be separate. It's horrid.

Sounds quite similar to what you describe.

That's interesting that you're post meno and on hrt. Maybe try reducing rather than stopping???

However, fortunately I've not had problems ........ last period was years ago 

I believe that some ladies use 'stugeron' from the GP to ease those woozy feelings . 

MayB list your symptoms, I am sure that many will be familiar to Forum members.  It mayB that you require a hike or a different regime.

Hi CLKD, thank you so much for your reply, I guess I could have this annoying symptom without hrt it may not be side effects.
I initially started hrt due to an early menopause my gp referred me to a gynaecologist and he said due to my young age ( under 45 ) I was post menopause at age 43 ,hrt was vital for my wellbeing under the normal age of menopause he said I was at risk of osteoporosis, and should take hrt at least until the so called average age of menopause at 50/52 but he said I could stay on it forever if it suits.
My first symptoms were hot flushes and severe anxiety, but I’ve had a million other symptoms even on hrt , I know it’s not a cure all but thought I’d feel better than this .
This drunk feeling is just horrible ☹️

Thank you. Unfortunately even post meno  doesn’t mean stability for the body. The body still tries to produce something.
