Hi, I'm new here

It's been a couple of months since I found out that I had PCOS. But to be honest, the information I got was...well...short. I've read up on it myself though, but still...

For years, I've been bothered with dizziness, without getting any answers to what it is. Blood tests and everything has been fine.
Can dizziness be caused by PCOS? I'm thinking about the hormone changes - if the hormones goes up and down and insuline goes to the roof, couldn't that cause dizziness?

Also, I've had so many symptoms, even been at a neurological examination, but nothing is found.
Numbness feeling, headaches, dizziness, weakness and tiredness.

It's not much information to find about this related to PCOS, but maybe someone else has experienced some of the same things?

I've also, of course, got the typical PCOS symptoms: Overweight, cysts, hormone irregularities (not sure what), and more.

Anyone have any thoughts?

(Sorry for a little bad English from time to time - I'm from Norway )

Hello...welcome to sc and if you stick around you'll learn a lot from this wonderful ladies and they'll never run out of useful information.

also eva is really sweet, I have seen here in almost newbie thread welcoming people like me!

I get dizzy even just riding a car, or watching tv for so long or in a hot shower, or just picking up something I dropped... i get dizzy a lot but i never thought of it as caused by PCOS...that's a good thought...

my bp is fine... well i'm 4'11 and DH said 100/70 is pretty normal for a shortie like me. :-)

Thanks for your replies
My blood pressure is just fine, nothing found there either. Actually, I've been checked from top to toe almost, and the only thing they found was PCOS.

What's the reason for you dizziness, qwerty? Except from MAYBE PCOS if I'm onto something.

qwerty

I would say severe motion sickness...even as a kid i was like that...Im the type of kid who throws up inside the car. hehehe...

Kidding aside, try to have your eyes checked because what really helped me is correct prescription glasses.

And if you ever have motion sickness try Bonamine (meclizine hydrochloride) 1 hour before you go on a plane or ride bus/subway.

I have those same symptoms except the headaches. When its at its worse, everything goes black. I'm conscious and can hear, but can't see and feel the need to sit or lie down. It used to happen at random times, now it mostly happens in the shower when I'm hot or when I'm otherwise sick. My blood pressure tends to be on the lower side 90/60 to 110/70 at the highest (and sometimes lower). So I've assumed that that was the cause but there is definitely a sugar connection. Because when I start feeling like this, if I drink OJ I usually feel better. I've had the standard blood sugar tests but I think I need a full workup. My PCOS was diagnosed through hormone levels and lack of periods for several years. I'm also a newbie to this site. Been a lurker in the past, but am trying to get better control of my PCOS now because I want to TTC in the next year or so.
