Hi
Does anyone else get this feeling. Like a light headed feeling and your not really there ? Please someone else say it's normal as I'm getting very concerned about it. I find I have to lie down quite a bit as I feel a bit unsteady and dare I say drugged! I do take Ad's so it could possibly be too strong a dose and I know my bp is ok. I am also a type 2 diabetic diet controlled x

Yes sparkle thats exactly like what it feels like an out of body experience. I have told the doctor she didn't seem concerned but it is a hindrance. I'm scared to go out by myself cos I don't feel safe and work is a no no x

[Annie0710]

Yes I've had it too, mainly in peri but also very occasionally post meno

During anxiety I get near out of body experiences, but in puberty they were actual out of body experiences, scared the living daylights out of me x

[HopeAlone]

I'm now wondering if it could be due to my AD as I take that on a morning. I may experiment and take it at night and see if that helps x

[Dotty]

I get that feeling... think it’s one of my meno symptoms x

I feel like I have to make myself concentrate x

Yes dotty get it a lot hard to cope with. Just another thing our bodies are going through. Thank goodness foe this site big hugs to you all xxx

It's common in peri. It may be a silent migraine or, at least, linked to blood vessel dilation, possibly from high (unopposed) oestrogen which is a stimulant.

Anything you can do to balance your hormones may help.

Just know you're not alone!

I have also had these feelings during peri everything just didn't feel real and everything was much brighter outside I remember being so scared and actually rang my Ms nurse as I was really panicked this was 7 years ago and not long after being diagnosed with peri and Ms.

I also had similar when I first started different ads.

I don't like it, it sets off my anxiety which doesn't need much encouragement. It's like being in a dream state then I worry it's my blood sugar which sets off the trembling and that horrible feeling that you might pass out. It's no wonder I always feel exhausted physically and mentally 

[Annie0710]

This is exactly how I feel.  If I'm out and it happens I get really nervous I'll faint, this is what started my phobia of socialising at the beginning of peri x

Yes it does stop you socialising, feel very conscious when out and stops me enjoying the evening because that busy trying to enjoy if and not have the feeling iam having if that makes sense xxx

I don't like it.  Sometimes I put my foot down and it doesn't go where I expect it to go  .

I also have a nerve in the back of my neck which if I move suddenly makes me go 'oh!'

[HopeAlone]

This may sound awful but I'm happy I'm not alone in this as I just don't understand it 
I find I deal  with things better if I understand why they are happening. I think I need to invest in a good book about the menopause so if anyone can recommend one feel free to let me know x

[CLKD]

Accept?  It's The Change, named for a reason  .  It really does help that we don't feel so alone!
