Brief Answer:
menorrhagia and hypotension.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,
If there has been excessive bleeding during menses since last 3 days then it is likely that you may be experiencing dizziness and weakness with lethargy attributed to possible decrease or lowering of blood pressure ( hypotension). If you feel as if you are going to faint then you should be visiting ER soon.
You shall be given antifibrinolytics like tranexamic acid to control your bleeding and also IV fluids to maintain blood pressure. It is always better to be in medical supervision in such situations rather than being on own to handle such situations.
