Girls, Is it normal to feeling like im gonna faint while on my period?

[Anonymous]

This has only happened a few times recently but I'm on the third day of my period and during a meeting at work (I'm always on the go and busy at work) I was standingand I started to feel extremely light headed and intensely uneasy like I was about to faint and I had the cold sweats and almost felt like I could vomit. I had no other problems.. no cramps or anything. Is this normal?

I don't think it would hurt to visit the doctor and just get a blood test done to make sure you aren't anemic. Maybe your periods are heavier than usual and you lose too much blood and/or you aren't getting enough iron in your diet.

Omg I'm like that all the time! I can barely walk straight XD. I think it's normal. You were standing too, sometimes I get faint like that for no reason.

Iron Deficiency maybe. It'd be a good idea to get a blood test.

I think it's normal, I've experienced the same exact thing quite a few times, usually on my first day of period though. It's horrible.

Not at all. Have you ever been tested for an iron deficiency?

Yes that happens time to time. No good :( It happens to me every once in a while. You need irons
