I have recently had strong periods. Alot of lightheadedness and some dizziness. I didn't have this much of a flow before my baby, could having a baby changed everything. I flow pretty stong for a day or two. I had my baby over a year ago and I am on birth control.Period Dizziness?
If you have heavy periods you may have meniraga. And you may need to take iron supplments because you are losing a lot of blood through your period. That's whats making you tired and dizzy and lightheaded
Best to always get your blood checked and ask you doctor about it, yes having a baby can make you body change a lot.
Yep, sounds like you need to raise your iron levels. Try eating more foods rich in iron such as liver. Or, start taking an iron supplement. Check with your doctor to see what would be the best routine for you.
You may want to consider a different birth control pill. The hormone levels in the one you are taking may not be right for you. Talk to your doctor. I think the headaches are from the heavy blood loss. I have had some trouble with that. If it is from blood loss try slow iron tablets. If its not from low iron a little caffeine might help. It is supposed to relieve pain. You could also try a general pain reliever. I take Aleve for my PMS symptoms it contains naproxen which is what doctors proscribe for PMS.
