Is this normal? Have you ever experienced this?!
Question: A few days ago my period started. I was at school when it did and I knew that soon I'll feel the cramps and pain ( like I always do that time of month) so I left for home , but on my way home I suddenly felt dizzy and in a few minutes I found myself unable to walk. My vision was getting worse too so I sat down on some stairs for a while. This state soon went away, but it scared me cuz I never experienced smth like this before. Dos this have smth to do with my period as I think it does?

This was most likely caused due to the pooling of blood for your oncoming menstrual cycle, which restricted the blood flow, and thus the oxygen to the brain. Oxygen is carried to the brain through your blood stream. Less blood=less oxygen. You should monitor this symptom as you approach your next few cycles to determine if the symptom reoccurs. If it does, make sure you don't operate a vehicle or do anything else physically that could endanger your or someone else. If the symptom doesn't go away, see your doctor.
I can honestly say that this never happened to me before.
Yes, it does have to do with it, when you get your period you lose alot of blood, and if you dont eat well, you will get dizzy, just make sure you drink alot of water, and eat healthy, you will be ok.
idk but get of the computer and go see your doctor is it that complicated to get it in your head i think not
Dont worry too much hun, It happens to me around that time, Just go and check with your doctor too make sure its nothing big, usually I just lay down for a bit and stay still for a while I also soak in the tub too help my legs. A small snack helps me too and some cold water. This can also happen if you are too hungry. Good luck! I hope this was helpful.
Yes, it was probably due to your period. There's all kinds of crazy hormonal things going on at that time, and we all have different reactions to it.
But it's unpleasant, and not really normal to feel dizzy and blurry. So, you should bring it up with a doctor. It could be that you're having some atypical migraines or mild anemia, and it would be a good idea to get checked. It could be as simple as taking an an iron supplement.
Hope you're feeling better!
well.. it hasn't happened to me but it has to one of my friends so its not JUST you... but i would go see someone about it. it could be that you have low blood pressure. i sometimes have that when i get up in the morning but its cause my blood pressure is low.
I would go to a doctor and find out if it has anything to do with TSS. Symptoms of Toxic Shock Syndrome would be dizziness,vomiting, diarrhea, sudden fever, and a rash that looks like a sunburn. It is a very rare syndrome but women do get it, only if you use tampons though.
It happens to me sometimes, not all times. One time it happened to me so bad from an hour. I got hot flashes, dizziness, nasuea etc....I couldn't believe it but then it went away an hour later after some rest. So I'd say it's normal sometimes because I'm fine.
I'd go to the doctor just to get it checked out - it's probably just to do with your hormones or something...
I did just want to add as well - someone said that it could be because you lose a lot of blood when you're on your period - you don't!! You only lose approx 30ml (which is about 2 tablespoons)! So don't panic - your dizziness won't be due to restricted oxygen to your brain or lack of blood circulation!
