I am 49 and five months ago my periods stopped for four months, and after that it carried on but it was in an overflow state and I was also getting it twice a month. Now it was supposed to show but it doesn’t and I am feeling a bit dizzy - I cannot even explain it, I feel like I am going to die at any minute.

This is very common during the approach to the menopause and can happen for some time.

However, frequent/heavy periods can cause anaemia, which in turn may cause dizziness, so it is best to get this checked out by your doctor.
