Is feeling off balance a symptom of the menopause?

Yes, this can happen to some women, the falling oestrogen can affect the fluid in the ears which can affect balance or it can affect your depth of perception meaning you can misjudge the space around you.

This could cause balance problems or you may find you keep bumping into things!

However, loss of balance can be caused by other factors so it is best to get this checked out by your doctor as well.
