Hi there I am new to this Forum and thought I would just ask the question before I think I am going crazy!
I had a Hysterectomy in 2011 partial one, so ovaries were kept. I have noticed and they did say I could go into menopause slightly earlier than normal, I have had a few signs so sleeping problems, etc then a few months back full on hot flushes several a day, so went to the doctor, she did all the blood tests, thyroid, etc and prescribed HRT gel, which I have decided not to take as was scared of the side effects, decided to go down the route of herbal supplements give them a go. The hot flushes have suddenly stopped, not sure if the hot weather we had made them worse. But now I am plagued suddenly with a dizzy spells, had one or two but now this week they are constant, its when I am sitting down on the computer or doing something I get a sudden like dizzy spell almost like a zap it lasts for seconds, but then my heart races and I go into panic mode. Its almost like a shift of things in my head. Of course you think the worst. Its not really accompanied by a hot flush, only sometimes my feet and hands feel clammy, but I think thats the panic. So not sure if anyone has ever had, not sure how to describe it properly and as I have just been to the doctor with hot flushes not sure if I should be going back for these dizzy spells, or just take it as its part of the course.....
