Dizzy & Lightheaded 🤢

Ciara

Just wondering if anyone has had experienced this before..

So I had a really bad period this month, as in major bad cramps to the point I was vomiting with pain. The only thing that helped was leaving a hot water bottle on my tummy and my back constantly. I had these cramps the week before and throughout my period. It was also really heavy. I’ve noticed this is happening a lot lately and I feel like it’s new because I normally am not that bad.

My period finished 4 days ago but since then I’ve been getting crazy dizziness, like I’ve just stepped off a carnival ride. It’s coming in waves so one minute I’m ok and the next I’m vomiting 😭

I mentioned it in passing to my manger at work who obviously said I must be pregnant but I highly doubt that. I googled my symptoms (bad idea as always, I should of known) and that throws up crazy diagnoses.

I’m thinking maybe I have low iron but then I was chatting with friends who feel like it could be something more sinister which is really freaking me out. They were talking about fibers in my uterus or having endo and all sorts!

I bought iron tabs and starting taking those today. I don’t wanna jump the gun and go wasting doctors time if this is something silly so I’m just wondering does anyone have any experience with this happening? Was it just a bad period that’s left me run down or do you think there’s some sort of issue I need to see someone about?

PS; if it I take worse with it I will go to the doc obviously but checking to see if this is a common thing.

Thanks so much for reading!
