fainting

[luc007]

Hi there,

I am a 36 year old single woman who has always suffered from severely painful periods that sometimes include fainting. Just yesterday it happened again. This time though, it came suddenly. No pain, no warning. I AM due to get my period but haven't gotten it yet. But, yesterday i had a sudden fainting spell followed by about 20 minutes of torturous pain. I am not on birth control and have not have kids yet... I have made an appt. with both my gyno and doctor. What is up with me? Is this normal?

Try taking an iron pill with your period, even if your not anemic. You may see a big difference in how you feel.

Could be low blood pressure or hypoglycemia but you would probably know that you usually can tell or know you haven't eaten. However I think that a complete blood work is in order. Your hormones should be checked as well. It certainally is not normal.
Best of luck!
