I am 36 and having real hassle with dizzy spells around my menstrual time, does anyone else suffer with this ???

I was diagnosed with this at age 6 and thyroid levels have been checked and they are satisfactory

Has your iron levels been checked? My iron drops like a brick and I have really bad dizzy spells at totm.

Worth looking into.

Good luck

Thankyou Ann. Have had all levels checked and everything ok. Waiting to have coil replaced so hoping it will help xx

Do you have your actual blood test results and ranges (figures in brackets) to post on here? Often we find that people are told that their results are OK, when in fact they are not "optimal". I gett dizziness/vertigo when I am under-medicated, and I did find that this was all worse at a certain time of the month. xx

Oh really. I'm not sure what they were the doctor just said they were ok and put it down to hormones. It's the first time I've suffereed with it and its,been going on over a month.

Yes, all my symptoms get much worse the week before and then during. I have really low blood pressure and always assumed it was this but now think otherwise. My endo has also mentioned hypoglycemia to me, don't know if this has anything to do with it but he's reluctant to even discuss the symptoms, let alone diagnose or treat haha(got to laugh!)
