Hi everyone. So, I have anxiety. Is there any possible way that my period can make my anxiety worse? Whenever I'm on my period, it's like I get anxiety symptoms but way worse. I get bad head pressure and I get vertigo. Anemia also runs in my family so my grandma is wondering if that could be causing the vertigo. I will take any advice or tips. Does anyone else get this?? Or does anyone else's anxiety worsen during their period??
I get anxious just before my period, hormones definitely can affect your mood when your oestrogen levels drop. I also get headaches and dizziness but I am a lot better since I started taking vitamin d and b12, I was deficient in both of them. Try taking some multivitamins and minerals and oil of evening primrose every day.
If it gets worse, try getting your hormone levels tested, you may have an imbalance and that can affect anxiety a lot.
hi there I also suffer from anxiety and it gets worse on my periods I also suffer from lightheadedness like an off balance feeling before and after my periods which then causes my anxiety to get worse cuz I then worry to much… I started taking vitamin d and my iron pills again as I suffer from low iron..
