Question about Period/hormones

Hello.


 I was wondering if someone could help me. I have been noticing that every month before my period I go through 2-3 days where I get really light headed, and I become very weak. I can sometimes also feel nauseous. Could this have to do with the hormones that are associated with that time of month?

Hi bookworm08 and welcome to the board.


The symptoms you are describing are some of the classics symptoms of PMS and can very definitely be related to hormone fluctuations during your cycle.



Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a group of physical, emotional and behavioral symptoms that commonly occur in the two weeks prior to menstruation. It is common among women of childbearing age and symptoms usually recur in a predictable pattern.


For more detailed information on the causes/risk factors, symptoms, treatment, and prevention of PMS, I encourage you to visit our PMS resource area:
