Unsure fainting episode

[Ilbc]

Hello,

I have provisionally been diagnosed with endometriosis, currently waiting on MRI then surgery to diagnose.

My period started this morning, I had high pain this morning but was manageable with strong painkillers. Made sure to eat and keep hydrated etc, slept most of the morning . Woke up at lunch time and started feeling very strange and lightheaded so went to find my flatmate. Told her I thought I was going to faint.

As I was walking up to her I started blacking out and unable to control my body, my arms were making jerking movements and I thought I was going to be sick. I don't think i fully lost consciousness. I haven't had anything like this before and it felt different to fainting. My body was jerking and I was struggling to breathe. My heart was racing and I was very nauseous. I didn't feel like I could see properly and was just staring into space during this.

I have never had an episode like this before and wondering if anyone's had anything similar. I've fainted before from pain during my period but this felt different. Any advice would be appreciated.

It's possibly your blood sugar. This happens to me sometimes despite eating etc. It's awful. Hope you are OK x

I know I’m replying a bit late, but if you haven’t done so I would discuss this with your GP. Quite possibly related to your period, but there are other things it could be. Xx
