Hello Teye123, Teirma for the question.



  

Dizziness is interpreted differently by each person. Dizziness can be interpreted as a sensation of spinning, a sensation of loss of balance, or a sensation of fainting. These complaints can also be accompanied by complaints of cold sweat, numbness in the body, weakness, nausea, excessive production of saliva, and others. The complaints you submit can be caused by:







anemia  

dehydration  

decreased blood sugar levels  

sudden drop in blood pressure  

heart rhythm disorders or other heart disorders  

side effects of certain drugs



If this complaint is often the case, you should see a doctor immediately. To find out the cause of this complaint is not possible without a doctor's examination. In addition to knowing more about your complaints, your doctor needs to examine you and perform other examinations such as blood tests, ECG, and others. The next treatment can only be determined after knowing the medical condition that you experience.



  

Please sit down immediately and rest if this complaint arises. You can immediately consume sweet foods or drinks. Make sure you always consume food regularly and meet your body's fluid needs by consuming water. Avoid sudden changes in body position for example from lying down to sitting or from sitting to standing to prevent sudden changes in blood pressure.



  

Hopefully this information is useful. Good evening, thanks for asking at HealthReplies.com. Complaints that you experience can be caused by various things, which among each symptom can be interrelated or not. Among the possibilities are:



 Pinched nerve disorders Infection or inflammation of the nerve lining Low blood pressure Spinal structural abnormalities Kidney stones This condition is most likely harmless, but it must be checked immediately because up to this point, the possibility is still very diverse, whereas the handling of each possibility can be different. So our advice, try to check yourself to a general practitioner, and may go directly to a neurologist, to find out more about his condition through direct examination. The handling that you will receive later depends on the results of this inspection.



Meanwhile, consume foods that are rich in B vitamins, limit physical activity, meet your fluid needs, and see your doctor immediately. So, hopefully answering your question. you would need to tell me what medication you were given and what the gynae thought the cause for the irregular periods was.<br/>best wishes Hello Darmawati,



Thank you for using the HealthReplies.com service.



Normal women have regular menstrual cycles, usually 11-13 times a year, or approximately once a month, with cycles every 21-35 days, and menstruation for 3-7 days. If you have not had your period more than 35 days since your last period, then you have menstrual disorders / late.



However, irregular menstruation can be caused by many causes, and treatment for each cause is certainly different. In many cases, menstrual disorders do not require medication, but only lifestyle changes and stress management can improve the patient's menstrual patterns. In other cases, menstrual pattern disorders can only be corrected by operative measures, such as in pituitary tumors. Therefore, before taking menstrual medicine, you must first know the cause of your disease.



Some diseases or conditions that can cause menstrual cycle disorders, such as:



Stress Use of contraception Pregnancy Polycystic Syndrome Thyroid Disease Menopause Pituitary tumors In diseases that are hormonal disorders, therapeutic treatments in the form of hormonal medications can be given, but it is recommended only to be consumed on a doctor's prescription / recommendation. But in other diseases, hormonal therapy will not solve the problem, or even can cause new problems.



I advise you to check with a specialist obstetrics and gynecologist, so that a more complete examination, your condition known, and given more appropriate treatment.



What you can do now is:



Eating nutritious food Adequate rest Avoid stress Avoid alcohol and cigarettes Regular physical activity Thus, hopefully it can help. grace, i would have it checked out if i were you. the least would be a physical examination and a chest x-ray. good luck. there are a number of possible reasons, but narcolepsy may well be what you have. you need to get a set of sleep tests (it takes about 24 hours in a sleep laboratory). then a proper diagnosis can be made, and all of the conditions can be treated.<br><br>you really need help asap. if this is the first time your period has been irregular, wait and see what happens next month. if it recurs, see your gynaecologist. iron tablets can cause stomach irritation. try to take them with food. gprd will not cause period problems.<br><br>best wishes increase your fluid intake, have water at every 1hour also include fruit juices, shakes , coconut water etc. refrain from caffeine as it causes dehydration. No you are not. Need not worry and [vomiting](https://www.lybrate.com/topic/vomiting) was a result of exhaustion caused by travelling. You try to take control of yourself and dont get into [depression](https://www.lybrate.com/topic/depression). It needs detail questioning consult privately. A. I am so sorry that you were struggling with these symptoms, and very glad you took the time to write us here at Psych Central.

The intensity of your reactions and the volatility of your thoughts suggest evaluation by a psychiatrist or a psychiatric mental health nurse-practitioner. The forceful and rapid mood swings combined with the internal voices and commands indicates you should make this appointment sooner rather than later. A psychiatrist or a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner would be in a better position to know if there is a medical concern underlying the symptoms. He or she would also be able to prescribe medicine if it is needed.

Wishing you patience and peace,
