Dizziness anyone?
I'm sorry that you're going through this, but there's a difference between dizziness and vertigo. Are you familiar with what vertigo is? Dizziness is you feel off balance; vertigo is something like literally sitting on the floor and feeling like you're going to fall off, even though there's nothing to fall from. Can you describe you're symptoms a little more in detail? Both can be triggered by hormones, but vertigo is much more more serious when it comes to driving, working, and almost all of your life activities. I suffer from vertigo and before they could help and diagnose me, I literally was crawling on my hands and knees because I couldn't stand, I couldn't shower, I definitely couldn't drive. It was one of the most horrific weeks of my life; and I had a 3 year old at home with at the time.
So, try to figure out the difference, because what starts out as some dizzinsess, could actually be something completely different. If it hasn't come across yet....talk to your Doc and figure out what's going on. Good Luck
