Default Perimenopause And Dizziness???

Hi there!

I'm getting on for 50, so I hope I can post here

A quick question for the ladies: I'm an almost 46 yo female experiencing some perimenopausal symptoms (period arrived after 20 days, for example) and, for about four weeks now, on and off, I've experienced varying degrees of dizziness and light-headedness in the mornings.

It usually wears off after a while, but I wondered whether this is simply a hypoglycemic symptom (and should I be worried about that? I've never had this before!), or whether this possible hypoglycemic symptom is caused by hormonal imbalance due to my age.

Apart from that, I'm experiencing a nice steady weight loss right now through having taken bread off the menu a few days ago, so I don't want to "carb up" to get my BG back up as is recommended on the websites I looked at.

Any thoughts, recommendations, links to other websites on the subject?

Any feedback would be welcome!
