I have had a headache for the past 5 days and am today feeling quite dizzy - is this a symptom of the menopause? I have been suffering with night sweats for the past 2 weeks. I am 52 and have been going through the change for the past 8 years. Is the above normal?

Some women can experience headaches and migraines during the menopause, this is often due to sudden dips in the hormone oestrogen, remedies such as Menopause Support contain phyto-oestrogens, which can help to balance your hormones and help with hot flushes. However, any headaches that don’t resolve after a few days should be checked out by your doctor first.
