Dizzy spells
Dizzy spells are a common symptom of menopause. Dizzy spells, as a menopausal symptom, is the result of lower estrogen levels that occur in the blood vessels. Other common symptoms like headaches, hot flashes, and night sweats can actually lead to dizzy spells. Dizzy spells may also be the result of menopause medications. Dizzy spells in themselves are not bad, but if a menopausal woman becomes dizzy while driving or walking on a stairway, the result could be serious. Dizzy spells, more than likely, will frighten a menopausal woman. It's not uncommon for numbness in the toes and fingers to accompany dizzy spells during menopause. Dizzy spells, if left unaddressed, could lead to panic attacks. Dizzy spells can also be a symptom of a tumor. Only 5% of dizzy spells are associated with serious illnesses or conditions. Don't just assume dizzy spells are common and natural. Dizziness is sometimes used as a general term for disorders. Dizzy spells are caused by lightheadedness caused by the change in the blood flow to the brain. Dizzy spells can escalate to vertigo, a feigned sense of motion. You can try to address mild or moderate dizzy spells naturally or discuss them with your doctor.
