Nausea during periods

Brooklyn
During period for one or two of the days my hormones get so crazy that I feel extremely nauseous to the point where I feel like I'm going to throw up, almost like I'm hungover. I went to the doctor and got a Zofran prescription that is for vomiting and such but I feel like I shouldn't have to deal with that severe of symptoms. Does this happen to anyone else? Is it uncommon or......
