Menopausal Dizziness: Why is the Room Spinning?
Suddenly experiencing darkness or spinning sensations during menopause is a common but distressing symptom. This isn't just aging; it significantly impacts quality of life. At Dalimchae Korean Medicine Clinic, we focus on the root causes: autonomic imbalance and brain function.
๐ก Core Answer: Why the spinning? The most common causes are: โ Autonomic Imbalance / โก Brain Function Decline / โข Qi and Blood Deficiency. We treat these through neurological balance and activation.
Why is it worse during menopause?
Hormonal shifts, specifically estrogen drop, affect the brain's control towerโthe autonomic nervous system. This leads to errors in heart rate, blood pressure, and balance signals. Research shows acupuncture is highly effective in stabilizing these symptoms and improving life quality for menopausal women.
Why are tests 'normal' but I still feel dizzy?
Structure might be fine in MRIs, but function isn't. In Korean Medicine, we look at circulation and accumulated toxins (Damyum/Eohyeol) that structural scans miss. By cooling the nervous system and restoring balance (Su-seung-hwa-gang), we help the brain rest and recover.
