Hi all,

i am just wondering if anyone experiences dizziness during their period? about a month ago i was very dizzy for about a week to 10 days. It passed but has come back and i have noticed last time and this time it has come on the 2nd day of my period. i am extremely tired and light headed, i cant look around to fast and bending over makes it worse. ive had my bloods taken and am not low in iron. i am just trying to work out if this is normal, i am 31 and have never experienced this with previous periods. It may be a coincidence so i am just after any information or if anyone else experiences this.

thanks

lizzie

    I get dizzy, tired and headaches around my period too. Have you had your vitamin levels tested? I am vitamin d deficient and whenever I forget to take my spray for a few days I get more dizzy. fish oil, starflower oil and vitamin b12 are all good for periods. Maybe it would be a good idea to try a multi vitamin and mineral tablet to see if you feel a bit better with that. But if you haven't already, get your vitamin levels tested first and also your hormones, you could have an imbalance.

    hi, Ive had that problem. Even though my iron was normal i was anemic because of the blood loss during my period . It bounces back quickly but can be very annoying and concerning during that time
