What Causes Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Along With Dizziness And Fatigue?

Hi I am a 47 yr old black woman that was told I have fibroid tumors about 27 yrs ago. but was told I didn t need to worry about it unless it becomes painful. my ht 5 11 wt 450lbs I have had 3 blood clots, I have venous insufficiency I am currently taking eliquis & iron TID. I am having menstrual bleeding extremely bad( I bleed for months at a time) my cycle has always been irregular, over the last 2 - 21/2 wks I have grown weak and sometimes dizzy and am constantly out of breath I also have asthma. I need to find a new PCP because my INS has changed so my question is what type of Dr. should I search for first? Sorry I don t have the money right now.

Hi,

As you have fibroids and taking medicine, some menstrual irregularities are often to occur.

As heavy bleeding leads to anemia, tablet IFA is recommended regularly. For your age, you are entering into menopause. So chances of menstrual irregularities are common. You can also contact gynecologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nirav Nimavat,
