I'm 49 years old and I'm experiencing bad mood swings and night-sweats. My sleeping patterns are a bit erratic. I also recently woke up feeling as though I am falling and I couldn't walk/ Now I feel as though I can walk but the dizziness is there, on and off. These dizzy spells have been happening for the last 48 hours.

Dizziness is a common menopause symptom, but if it is continuous it is important to get it checked out by your doctor.

Falling hormones can affect blood pressure and possibly balance but there could be other causes that would need looked at.

In the meantime, you may find sage helpful for the flushes and a magnesium supplement is often helpful for mood swings and sleep.
