Hi Tufty
Sorry you're feeling so bad, I completely understand where you're coming from, I am post menopausal too ( no period for 3 years) and my health anxiety is at an all time high. I had the dizziness earlier this year, it was awful, I was scared to go out and seemed to be worse when I lay down so I spent most nights propped up in bed convincing myself I had a brain tumour or something equally sinister. It lasted about 5/6 weeks and then it went as suddenly as it came and fingers crossed I've not had another episode. Someone on here ( think it was Silverlady )suggested it might be BPPV and when I googled it my symptoms did seem to match.
Since then however, I've had all sorts of other ailments (which I won't bore you with) and worried myself to death that it's another terrible illness.
Some days I can be rational and actually on those days I do feel physically better so I do think my mind has a lot to answer for! This meno journey is certainly challenging, I had no idea it would be like this, just thought my periods would stop and that would be it, how wrong I was!
I'm sure there will be others on here who have/are feeling the same, if you do a search, you'll see there are quite a few threads on dizziness which might help.
I just thank God for this site, it has given me so much reassurance that I'm not the only one suffering and that really helps.
Hope you're feeling better soon, big hugs
