I get dizzy spells, sometimes before I have a hot flush. Is this associated with menopause?

Dizziness before a flush is actually very common and many women will experience this or something similar.

Just check that you are drinking plenty of plain water as dehydration could be a contributory factor.

However, dizziness can be caused by other issues so if it gets worse or happens independently of a flush, it is best to check with your doctor.

An extra of sage herb can also help ease your hot flushes. You can take sage in either a tincture or tablet form. Our one-a-day Menoforce Sage tablets are used to relieve excessive sweating, hot flushes and night sweats during the menopause.
