side effects of Oestrogen patches

[ENGLISHTEA]

Good afternoon

I was wondering if there is anyone else who has suffered with vertigo ,headache and feeling ravenous when they start HRT?

it only takes 24 hours and the headache starts then feeling light headed and off balance then I have a hunger I just can't satisfy the longer I keep using the gel or patch the worse it gets.

I have a coil fitted as part of my progestogen so it's not that causing my symptoms

Dr's don't seem bothered just tells me to go without ,well (nurse practitioner ) she deals with all things menopause not the Dr's. I've asked to be referred to a menopause specialist but she's refused as I'm not established on Oestrogen (the irony)

I'm desperate to have some relief from the peri-menopause

thank you
