Fainting and severe pain

Hi, just wondering if any of you lovely ladies experience fainting episodes when your endo/adeno pain is severe?

I had an episode this morning completely out of the blue which really scared me and afterwards I was experiencing severe pelvic pain. I am due my period any day from now. The dizziness and fainting is a new one for me!

Yeah I get I quite a lot, although when my pain is severe I just throw up.My flow is quite heavy so it might be that, I'm not sure. I also get bad pains just before my period starts.

Kept hydrated (lots of water) and I sometimes keep dextrose (sports energy tablets in the health section) or lucosade handy if I feel my blood sugar is low. Hope it gets better soon.

Hallo, I fainted from the pain twice - both times I had burst chocolate cysts and had to be rushed to A&E. Prior to fainting I wanted to vomit. I suggest going to your Dr in case it’s something like low blood pressure/sugars or another underlying issue. Fainting really isn’t normal, even if you have a flare up from endo.

Thank you both, I have type 2 diabetes too and took my blood sugar which was high even though I hadn’t eaten since the night before. So doesn’t really explain? Something isn’t right, I’m going to get onto the GP today as I have never felt so poorly. My ferritin levels have also dropped to 12 from 32 at the beginning of last year.

I’m type 2 diabetic too. High bloods aren’t good either, you can get high readings if you’re ill (and haven’t eaten too many carbs at the time of the reading). You’re doing the right thing to double check with your GP.Diabetes always brings an extra element of excitement to things, doesn’t it? 😉

It does I’ve have hyperthyroidism too, the joys 🤩 spoke to GP and she thinks the fainting is all related to my endo and adeno. Off to pick up some more pills 💊
