I am having bad period cramps. they feel like contractions. they take my breath away and make me fall down to my knees. and i'm not pregnant?

Severe cramping: Severe menstrual cramping can be a sign of a more serious GYN condition and you should be examined by a GYN MD first. If Ibuprofen & Naprosyn (naproxen) are not working then a cause can be determined at that visit and Rx offered.
