Here’s how to get realigned.

Navigating menopause is hardly a one-size-fits-all process. Every person who goes through this life change juggles their own set of side effects, and while most of us are familiar with usual symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, weight fluctuations, and vaginal dryness, others are a little more unknown and surprising. One of them is a feeling of dizziness, lightheadedness, or unsteadiness from time to time. Who knew?!
Unfortunately, I did. I’ve had my share of clumsy moments recently, and with my increasingly irregular cycles in perimenopause, I can also feel pretty spaced out and off balance. While it’s frustrating and sometimes a little scary, it’s thankfully far from abnormal. Research estimates that 1 in 4 people experience dizziness at some point during menopause. In other words, it shouldn’t come as a surprise if you get a case of the wobbles here and there as your hormones shift.
