Severe dizziness during period

[dizzyperiods]

Does anyone else get this? Is there anything that helps except rest and iron supplements? For four or five days each month I have to stay in bed it’s that bad. GP says there are no options as I’m ttc. I’m fed up !

I get dizzy at the drop of a hat due to low blood pressure. Drink loads of water (more than you think) and an electrolyte drink occasionally on my period helps

Oh and get the iron drink (I forget its name) not the tablet. That stuff works way better!

I’ve been taking ferrous sulphate from the gp but my ferritin still dropped so I added in 2 spatone a day and 5ml feroglobin and it’s gone from 11 to 46 so I’m hoping that will help. It’s just the most debilitating dizziness and my periods just start with a flood (they always have since I was 12!!) I think my body gets shocked by the sudden blood loss maybe ?
