Hi,welcome to Healthcare magic.
Thanks for posting your question on this forum.
I understand your query and concern.
You seem to have autonomic dysfunction related to menses.This is not a major issue to worry.Hydrate yourself adequately with 3-4 liters of water every day.Drugs like Fludrocortisone will help to improve your symptoms.Hot flushes should be treated with Tibolone.Consider having a 24 hr holter ecg to rule out rhythm disturbances.I advise you to have a baseline ECG and 2 dimensional echo on the follow up to have a recent quick review of your cardiac functional reserve.
Consult an expert cardiologist for further expert management.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
