Sudden, unexplainable dizziness during menopause can be scary. However, it’s quite common and does not usually indicate a medical condition. Up to 37% of women may be experiencing dizziness or vertigo with menopause.
The hormonal changes that occur during the menopause transition and the fatigue that comes with it can lead to increased dizziness. Reduced estrogen in the body can negatively impact blood sugar levels as well. As those levels rise and fall, body cells may not receive the energy they need, which often leads to dizziness.
