I'm 20, 170 cm, 57 kg. I would like to ask you something regarding my symptoms and also test results. For nearly a month now, I felt quite dizzy. My period was late for a week, so I went to my gynecologist for beta hcg test on 4.1.2021. It came negative. My dizziness started 1 day before my period finally came - on 5.1.2021. I started feeling dizzy and since i'm treated with hypothyroidism, I went to my endocrinologist on 7.1.2021 for t3 and t4 levels- all good. So I measured my blood pressure and it was around 90/45. I've kept measuring it every day and the top was only about 97/62, the lowest would get was 85/44. To describe this dizzy feeling, it's more like as if I was moving forward and backward, but in reality i'm not. When I focus on some object, everything is fine. So on 26.1.2021, I went to my g. P. And she had done blood test on these parameters: ery, leu, thrombocytes, hgb, hct, glucose, k, na, fe, ca, crp, alt, ast, crea and ferritin. All came back normal except for ferritin - it was 19 pmol/l. My doctor said my symptoms would be due to that, but i'm still very paranoid since it's not that significant "lost" on that level. One year ago i've had similar problems, I was weak and pale and they found out I had lower fe, but I didn't feel that dizzy. They had also done mri of brain last year (around 5.3.2020) to rule out multiple sclerosis and it came back clear. Do you think all my symptoms would be only due to my ferritin and there isn't another, maybe neurological, culprit? Thank you very much.

It can be because of low bp. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner)drink lots of nonalcoholic fluids. As dehydration is the most common cause of low bp limit alcoholic beverages. Drink more fluids during hot weather and while sick with a viral illness, such as a cold or the flu. Get regular exercise to promote blood flow. Be careful when rising from lying down or sitting. To help improve circulation, pump your feet and ankles a few times before standing up. Then proceed slowly. When getting out of bed, sit upright on the edge of the bed for a few minutes before standing. Elevate the head of your bed at night by placing bricks or blocks under the head of bed. Avoid heavy lifting. Avoid straining while on the toilet. Avoid standing still in place for long periods of time. Avoid prolonged exposure to hot water, such as hot showers and spas. If you get dizzy, sit down. It may be helpful to keep a chair or stool in the shower in case you need to sit; to help prevent injury, use a nonslip chair or stool designed for use in showers and bath tubs. To avoid problems with low blood pressure and lessen episodes of dizziness after meals, try eating smaller, more frequent meals. Cut back on carbohydrates. Rest after eating. Avoid taking drugs to lower blood pressure before meals.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Dizziness before your period is often caused by the hormonal changes of the menstrual cycle. Pms, pmdd, and dysmenorrhea are the most common causes. Other conditions that cause dizziness, such as low blood pressure, can also be caused by hormonal changes from your period. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Low ferritin and low blood pressure are very much related to each other. If your haemoglobin is low, there are many chances of dizziness and vertigo. U first need to increase your haemoglobin. Consult me on my what's app no. mobile.
