I'm almost 40 and for the past few months the run up to my period has been almost as bad as the period itself! Feeling light headed, headaches, I feel like the life has been sucked out of me in all honesty.
Period has also been really heavy for the first couple of days but then tails off into normal flow and I then feel fine...until the next month!
My cycle also varies in days between 24-29 when I have always been 28 days like clockwork.
I've been having periods for 25years and to be quite honest they have always been a bit of a non event, now suddenly it's very obvious it's on the way!
Would anybody suggest this is something to bother a GP with or do I just accept I am getting older....
