Feeling dizzy and weak a few days before menstruation
Menstruation refers to the onset of a menstrual period. Dizziness and weakness a few days before menstruation may be caused by physiological factors, or could result from pathological conditions such as malnutrition or anemia. Treatment depends on the specific cause. Details are as follows:
I. Physiological Causes
Prior to menstruation, women may experience emotional tension or anxiety, which can alter sympathetic nervous system activity, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and palpitations. These symptoms can be improved by timely regulation of emotions.
II. Pathological Causes
1. Malnutrition
Long-term dieting in women can lead to malnutrition. When the body lacks essential nutrients, it may result in insufficient qi and blood, causing premenstrual dizziness, fatigue, and accompanying edema. Adjusting the dietary structure can help alleviate these symptoms.
2. Anemia
Anemia reduces the production of red blood cells in the body, leading to oxygen deprivation in the brain and muscle tissues. This can cause symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, and memory decline. Treatment should be conducted under medical supervision using medications such as succinic acid ferrous tablets, compound ferrous sulfate folic acid tablets, or ferrous sulfate tablets.
In addition, these symptoms may also be caused by premenstrual syndrome, hypertension, hypotension, or other diseases. It is recommended that individuals experiencing discomfort seek timely medical evaluation and treatment.
