Does anyone else get really dizzy a week or two prior to their period? I always do, especially when I get up in the morning or when I am lying down. It's really uncomfortable. The doctor told me I am mildly anemic and I have been taking iron tablets, but it's not helping. I was wondering if this happens to anyone else. My doctor said it was mostly anxiety related because I always dread getting my period because of how ill it makes me feel. She said I feel ill because of all the tension and fear of my period and the slight iron deficiency. But the feelings won't go away! Any tips?
