As some who follow my journal knows, I suffer with my periods every monthly is painful and quite heavy. However is the week before my period that's become an issue, I get very lightheaded and dizzy spells too, and feel really sick with it too. Every time I mention this to my doctor he dismisses the lightheadiness and dizziness as "one of those things". I literally can't do much at all or leave the house when it's so bad. I have checked my blood pressure whenever I feel this way but it is normal.
I'm worried something more major is going on with me. I am currently waiting for a scan as the doctor wants to check I don't have polycystic ovaries, but is that a normal symptom for PCOS? As far as I'm aware my iron levels are okay.
I don't have any kid's and not sure if/when we will. I'm not on the pill and can't use it due to family history, I just don't see an end to feeling so bad before my cycle.
HELP please
