Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing well! I've been experiences really bad lightheadedness. It's like i can't stand too long or I feel i will faint. It's that time of the month for me and it always seems to get worse around this time! I already take iron supplements for anemia and my iron level is fine! Does anyone else have this? What has helped with it? Also it's strange but I get this numbing sensation across my chest and sometimes across my back! What is that?? Oh geez! I feel like I'm dying of something! Please help me!
Take Care!
Lightheaded HELP!

I'm so sorry you're feeling bad today, but the lightheadedness will not hurt you. It's just another anxiety symptom. I should know. I've had it 24/7 for more than 20 years. It's so much better than it use to be though.
Anxiety symptoms change a lot. You may have one symptom. That'll go away and another strange and new one may come. That's just the way it is . And all symptoms get worse with PMS.
Do something to relax yourself and to distract yourself from thinking too much about it. You will feel much better after your period is over.

Thank you so much deedee00! I just need to hear that sometimes! The only thing is now my period is over and I'm still lightheaded. Plus on top of it now I'm extremely tired and having heart palpitations again. Aghhh! I want this to end so badly! Even though I've had my heart checked and everything was fine, I still can't stop thinking that there is something wrong with my heart. Feeling faint when standing up for too long, heart palps and so tired my eyes want to close doesn't feel like anxiety to me. But, of course it probably is! I just don't know anymore!

It's just anxiety. And all that worrying will wear you out.
Just relax. Lightheadness won't hurt you. I know. I've had it for many years. I've had the whole lot of tests. MRI, CAT scans, stress tests etc....
Don't be afraid. Just relax and let them go away. The more fear you give the symptoms, the longer they'll stay, and the more intense they'll become.
Take care of yourself.

Anxious Jenny-
That happened to me before! It happened right before I got my period, during, and it stayed for a lil while after. I went to the doctor and she told me to eat things a variety of foods. Not just food with iron in it, but you should anyways...supplements are great, but it's better to get it in the food. She suggested eating apples, pomegranate juice, liver(if you can stomach it), and just a lot of vegetables. A lot of times you can be lacking a vitamin and it will make you light headed. I don't know you, so I don't know if this is it for sure, but it could be
It might just be an anxiety symptom too, it's happened to me before just from anxiety. But try to eat a lot of vitamins and see if it helps! Good luck to you : )

Jenny, I have similar symptoms that you described,,,except being a guy I don't have the other issue. I worry a lot about my heart, but also had stress tests, ultra sounds, EKGs etc and everything checks out okay. I also get the lightheadedness but I also get a little numbness around sinus or upper teeth, and feeling of clogged ears....but I've had CAT scan of sinus, and visits to dr. don't indicate congestion.....one dr. did say that all the symptoms I described can easily be caused by anxiety.....
