Dizziness anyone?



Have you talked to your doctor about what is going on? Dizziness may not be related to endometriosis at all. I have dizziness from with low blood pressure, sudden changes in blood pressure--such as when standing too quickly, low blood sugar, and sinus infection. Dizziness can also occur when taking certain medications, hormonal issues, other health conditions, vision problems, ear problems, etc.

I would suggest keeping a journal of your symptoms, avoid driving, and call your doctor right away!

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

<oops! please keep support online! thanks!>

I have a similar problem. I thought maybe I had an ear infection, but it never went away. For the past month I have been dizzy on and off. I am even dizzy when I sit or lay down. I don't know of any way this is related to endo, but I have had the same symptom. I do have low blood pressure and low iron, so that may be the problem in my situation.
