Can There Be Disturbed Periods And Dizzy Feeling After Taking Steroid Shot For An Allergy Drmatitis?
Hi, about 2 weeks ago I got a steroid shot for an allergy dermatitis and the doctor said it could make my period start early. It started the next day, which was fine. Today tho I started again, isn't it too soon? I'm also feeling really dizzy, if I barely move, and light headed.

Welcome to HCM!
I have read your question and from my clinical experinece I can say that your second periods seem to be related to steroids injection but the dizziness can be related to the repeated periods.
When someone gets periods twice , then this Diizness can come as a result of weakness and repeated blood loss.
I would suggest that such person should continue to maintain hydration, take rest and eat nutritious diet.
If dizziness persist, or periods persist more than normal, then please consult the doctor and get your tests done.
Hope the reply helps you
