Is it normal to feel extremely weak on your period?

Question

I have kind of low iron levels but this is the first period where I've experienced shortness of breath, almost constant dizziness, and pretty extreme weakness. It's to the point where I didn't feel like I could drive my car safely. My eyes feel like they just need to close, it's so weird and is making me kind of anxious. Should I be alarmed?

Answer

You sound very anemic so go to the Dr. Anemia can be dangerous at severe levels and the Dr will be able to help you. Meanwhile, make sure you take iron and vitamins.

Answer

It's normal for it to make you feel tired, but that sounds like a lot...
I would definitely go see your doctor just to be safe.
Hope everything goes well 💕

Answer

If it's not normal for you, I'd maybe go see a doctor, just to be safe. :)

Answer

Normal, at least for me. I've had to stay home from work a few times because I couldn't walk out of my bedroom without wanting to pass out. Everyone said to go to a doctor, but my doctor told me that's normal too. Some of us are just unlucky I guess.
