Associated symptoms
In the menopause, many other accompanying symptoms are added to the dizziness. The beginning of the menopause is characterized by irregular menstruation in conjunction with varying monthly bleeding rates. In addition, almost all women suffer from hot flushes during the menopause, and urinary tract problems and a reduced libido can also occur.
There is also a psychological component to the symptoms, which manifests itself mainly through irritability, nervousness and sleep disorders. In connection with the dizziness it can also lead to drowsiness, headaches, ringing in the ears, a ringing in the ears, palpitations and sweating. Dizziness is a very common symptom and can be associated with all kinds of diseases and conditions.
During the menopause, drowsiness can be caused by a particularly rapid change in the hormone balance. This brings both the nerve cells and the hormones and electrolytes out of balance. In addition to dizziness, this can also lead to headaches and dizziness.
Dizziness is often accompanied by ringing in the ears or a ringing in the ears. The palpitations of the heart during menopause are often accompanied by sweating and hot flushes. This is usually based on a defective regulation of the cardiovascular system due to the strong hormonal changes.
As long as the pulse is regular and there are no complaints such as dizziness, light-headedness or even fainting fits, tachycardia is usually harmless. If the accompanying symptoms occur, the circulation and thus the blood pressure are negatively affected by the tachycardia. In this case, a clarification of the tachycardia should be carried out to exclude already existing heart diseases and possible secondary diseases of the heart. Ringing in the ears or a ringing in the ears (tinnitus) are typical symptoms that occur together with dizziness.The reason for this is that the organ of balance and the hearing organ are located directly next to each other. During the menopause there are strong hormonal fluctuations in the blood, which can disturb the blood flow to the organs of balance and hearing, causing dysfunctions such as dizziness and ringing in the ears.
