Can migraines and vertigo happen because of the menopause?

Yes, these are possible symptoms and migraines are quite common.

As you also have vertigo, it may be that your blood pressure is a factor. It would be a good idea to get it checked with your doctor before going any further. Ask for an iron check too, as even mild anaemia can cause feelings of light headedness and imbalance. 

Menopausal migraines are often due to the fluctuations in hormone levels, and may be helped by fermented soya isoflavones - have a look at Menopause Support tablets.

These also contain magnesium, which is another help for migraines.
