What Causes Prolonged Spotting With Dizziness?

I am 48 yrs old and for the first time, I am spotting instead of having my usual period. I started before my period was due and am still spotting - its been 2 weeks. I know I could be perimenopausal however this weekend I experienced prolonged lightheadedness with occasional pronounced dizziness. Could they be related?

Hello,

The spotting together with feeling light-headed and dizzy may be related to the peri-menopause. Pregnancy may happen even in peri-menopause so you should be protected.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
