Dizziness During And One Week After Menses
hi i hope you can helpo, i get heavy periods, i am not pregnant at the moment and dont often get dizzy but my period was last week and during my period i suffered from severe dizziness to the point that i couldnt walk straight. now that my period is over i do not have the same degree of dizziness but still feel light headed at times (before and after a meal ). i have been to the doctor for a general check and my blood pressure and blood sugar was fine. i am sleeping perhaps 6-7 hours every night but am looking after a 1 year old baby and am exhausted during the day. i am also taking vitimins, iron tablets and now B12 but i am still feeling the same dizzy and light headedness. i hope you can help me. kind regards,

Hello.
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
Your dizziness during periods is due to heavy bleeding and weakness. You must take plenty of fluids and the supplements also along with a good high protein and iron diet. It will take at least a month or two of continuous supplements for an improvement to see.
