I haven't had my period in almost a year, but last week, I had the heaviest ever. I am 52. Now this past week I was dizzy for the first half of 4 days. Then yesterday I had a bad stomach and today I slept most of the day. Is this all related to menapause and the fact that lost so much blood? I am most worried about the dizziness, however I think it went away today. Is this all normal?
Hi
My experience says this is not "normal", but it does happen to some women. I had a similar experience. My period stopped for over a year, then came back shortly, then stopped again for good. I did not experience the heavy bleeding that you are, but I never had heavy periods.
A trip to the doctor would be a good idea for you, just to have things checked and put your mind at ease.
Maybe your body is making a last hormonal statement!
