i get ill on my period?
So this only started happening in the last year (i'm 17). It can happen any day before or during my period: i got really bad stomach cramps, i feel lightheaded and nauseous and eventually my vision goes dark and i pass out. This has happened twice at work, once at school and a few times at home. Do you think i should go and see a doctor?
Ps I've had my period since I was 12 and it's always been very regular but really heavy.

If you go to the doctor, they will put you on the pill. They may also want to run some tests.
Before your cramps get bad, take an Advil/Motrin. You shouldn't be letting the pain get that bad. In addition to some pain medication, using a heating pad or a warm bath also helps with cramps. Make sure you are getting foods with iron while you are on your period, because you loose so much which can cause dizziness/faintness.
Your period changes from when you first get it to 20 years of age. I had a very heavy period from 12-16, then went on the pill, and after stopping my period has been very light (with minor cramps) for 12 months now.

The same thing happened to me and my doctor recommended going on birth control because it helps with the flow of your period. It worked really well for me , also with the getting light headed and passing out I recommend when you have your period to increase the amount of fluids you take in that also helped me a lot !

IF this has happened for more than a month, you should go to your doctor. This is not a normal symptom of a period.
