Hi all,
I'm 47 and started peri at 39. I've had numerous symptoms over the years and it seemed to have settled down a bit. I tried hrt and didn't get on with it at the time.
Anyway, I had a period this week after a 2 month gap (they are a few months apart now) and I've been feeling really dizzy. I just had a horrible moment of being dizzy, shaky then hot so I assume a hot flush. I really felt like I could pass out, but didn't.
Not sure how I'll manage at work like this.
Does this sound like a hot flush?

Yep. How long is a piece of string, flushes can appear in various shapes and forms. Keeping hydrated is important. Does your Company have a menopause policy of support?
I get a floaty feeling sometimes due to a trapped nerve in my neck, enough to make me go 'OH!' but not enough to discuss with the GP. Usually when I move suddenly!

Yes, I work in a school but we are very short staffed so not sure what I can get out of it. I'll certainly ask.
Interestingly I have inflammatory arthritis in my neck which isn't helping, but these hot flushes are like a sugar drop, if that makes sense?

Yep. How is your diet overall? MayB eating little and often will help, it certainly eased some of my sudden nausea symptoms. I would know where every bin was in every shop on an 'in case' basis - though never needed them :-\.
