What Do Episodes Of Lethargy And Dizziness Indicate?

I am having period bouts of lack of energy and slight dizziness. I can be fine and energetic then all of a sudden it all changes. I end up laying around not able to do anything. I do occasionally suffer from vertigo but that is a whole different kind of dizziness and I understand about vertigo. This other issue has me baffled. I am not sick to my stomach and it isn t flu like symptoms.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Mostly you should be anemic.
Increased iron content food in your diet. Anemia causes weakness and Dizziess. You can once check your hemoglobin content to clarify. Even after having iron rich food, if you feel the same use Orofer XT syrup at night . If your hemoglobin counts comes normal. check you thyroid once.

Hope I have answered your query.
