Question 1

symptoms: cold sweat, dizziness, nausea during and after period. period lasted 7 days was heavy until the last two days and very dark almost brown ?

Accepted Answer

Most likely, normal: Rule out pregnancy, of course.  My own take on this is that, particularly with heavy menses, there is notable amount of retrograde menstrual flow (back flow of menstrual effluent) through the fallopian tubes into the abdominal cavity.  This could serve to irritate the peritoneal lining (eliciting pain, bloating, etc..) as well as nearby bowel; leading to some of the GI symptoms described.

Question 2

period came on time, but experienced nausea, fatigue & cramping, dizziness &  breast tenderness before & during period. period blood is a dark brown.

Accepted Answer

Ans: Not abnormal symptoms. Check a urine pregnancy first. If negative try Tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen a few days and heat over pelvis for the discomfort. Brown blood is old blood. The uterus must shed itself fully the brown blood is old blood from last cycle b

Question 5

is it ok to feel dizzy with sharp chest pain during period?

Accepted Answer

No: What you described is not normal. But you did not provide sufficient information for a meaningful opinion. Dizziness may be due dehydration and you should drink enough water, daily, so that your urine most colorless. If the chest pains persist, you should see a doctor.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine, if you are under 27 years of age.

Also check HCG, thyroid hormone, and  if all negative .consider CT check for abdominal, lymph node ovary  lesion.

In many positions laying down, sitting up , and standing and see if there is any variation .goid luck
