Once i get my periods I'm like that. The lazy bed rest, pain and lack of food (can't keep it down) causes me to feel faint.

I get really dizzy too! It's the worst. I think it's because my diet is vegan so I have low iron to begin with. Then the heavy blood flow it makes it worse. Everyone has weird period symptoms so don't worry. Recently I have been getting uncontrollably enraged a couple days before my period.

Sometimes I have to be careful when I take any kind of pain reliever during my period. If I haven't felt like eating much and I take an aspirin or something I get sick and end up throwing up. Like someone said, it's very important to be sure that you eat healthy and drink plenty of water during your period. You'll feel better......although when you have really monster cramps, eating is the last thing you feel like doing. I guess what I really wanted to say is that you shouldn't take any pain relievers on an empty stomach. Sorry for the confusion! (having period now and I get kind of a mental fog after taking some pain meds that are specifically prescribed for cramps)

I had a period once where I started to sweat and feel faint, unfortunately, it was round my Aunt's house for her 50th birthday. My mum and my cousin were concerned but I took five or so minutes to relax and breathe and I felt okay.

If you feel ill, don't be afraid to take some time to lay down, or ask to be excused, sometimes we women can't plan for such incidents.

i feel they same plus im really moody.

1) Lower abdomen pain: that's called cramps.

2) Everything else... it sounds like you're dehydrated. Low blood pressure, headaches, achey feelings....

Go drink some water. At least 6+ glasses in the next 24 hours. It will probably make you feel a lot better.
