Suggest Treatment For Shortness Of Breath And Dizziness

Hi. Im 20 years old and have my period for about 4 years now. The amount of pain I get when I have my period is so bad that I cant even walk for the first 2 days. I dont understand because I do not have a heavy flow at all but the pain is so bad. I experience shortness of breath , dizziness and headrushes almost everytime I m on my period. And I also get very shaky during the time the pain is bad but it doesnt last longer than 1 or 2 hours. Could there be anything wrong ?

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have shortness of breath and dizziness . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like ear infection , condition like meniere's disease , food poisoning , heart problem or anxiety disorder . The symptoms can also occur due to allergic condition like asthma. I can also occur due to viral infection , chest infection or cardiac problem. I would suggest you to stay calm , avoid bending forward , avoid food like nuts and sea food , drink plenty of fluid and drink green tea thrice a day . If condition doesn't get better then consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test like CT scan of ear , examine with otoscope , rotatory chair test and balance test . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like gentamycin , antiemetic drug ,anti inflammatory along with vestibular therapy . Doctor may also refer you to cardiologist or to chest specialist for chest infection .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
