I am 51 years old and I have been officially told that I have gone through menopause. I am still having some major problems with night and cold sweats. I am also, finding myself getting extremely dizzy What can I do? I'm trying to find myself another job and I don't want this to be a problem with the new employer.

You are considered post-menopausal when you have not had a period for two years. During this phase many women do experience menopause symptoms as your hormones are still adjusting.

You may find Menopause Support helpful here as this is traditionally used to help gently raise and balance oestrogen thus reducing symptoms (however, it can take about 4 weeks to kick in).

Dizziness is actually very common and most women will experience this at some point in the menopause.

However, dizziness can be caused by other issues so if it is regular or gets worse, it is best to check with your doctor.

In the meantime, make sure that you are drinking plenty of water and eating something every 3 hours or so. Dehydration and low blood sugar levels can be contributory factors.

Your body tends to become more sensitive at this time so be aware of how much caffeine and sugar foods you are eating as they can trigger your nervous system, leading to dizziness as well!

Sage is traditionally used for flushes and night sweats so you could add that in too.
