could be anemia. I get sick and faint with that. Doctor can do blood test to check for that.

stripeymama · 14/10/2007 19:38

Yes I think it can. And excessive thirst, weeing lots,tiredness.

Might you be anaemic? This can cause you to feel faint. Otherwise just having a low blood sugar can cause faintness and headaches. I read somewhere that fluctuations in hormones around period time can cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels. I get that sometimes - I was told to eat a little often i.e ensure you don't allow yourself to get too hungry - eat fruit or healthy snacks between meals - It might be that?
