What Causes Headache And Smelling Blood During Periods?

Hi, yesterday I had a terrible headache that lasted for over seven hours and kept constantly smelling blood along with stomach pains. I started my period so that s what I thought it was. But I ve never had any PMS like symptoms before so I am not sure what it is. Today I woke up and my headache was gone but I still keep smelling blood and it s starting to make me feel even more nauseous.

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic for your health concern

Your symptoms are suggestive of premenstrual/menstrual symptoms. The symptoms will go away 2-3 days after onset of bleeding. You can take Tylenol for pain and apply heat pad on lower abdomen for relief.
