This is why the symptoms must not be overlooked and should be properly treated as soon as possible.Menopause and dizziness may even be a sign of bone loss which is known to lead to osteoarthritis. It is not uncommon for the arthritis to cause dizziness, especially if the arthritis is in the neck or cervical spine. In this case, a woman is also very likely to experience hot flashes and night sweats as well. Mood swings, depression, irritability, frustration and anxiety can also lead to dizziness in menopause.
Hormone fluctuations are also known to lead to panic attacks and in that case it is pretty common for the dizziness to occur as well. Various treatments, like hormone replacement therapy for instance, have dizziness as one of its side effects. Even though it is normal for a woman to experience dizziness during menopause from time to time, she should go to the hospital and check it, just so to make sure that it is not a symptoms of something worse, like a tumor.
