During menopause, women might experience dizzy spells and feel unsteady while walking. The severity of this symptom varies widely, from physical unbalance to quickly passing dizziness. Sometimes, after-effects of lightheadedness, such as nausea and headaches, continue after the dizziness passes. In extreme cases, this symptom can cause falls. A number of medical conditions can cause dizziness, so it is important to see a doctor even if one assumes they are experiencing a symptom of menopause.
