Good : Good morning. I can't diagnose the cause of your lightheadedness. There can be a variety of different causes for this. Thus, there isn't a way to be able to tell you if it is due to your period. Things like feeling shaky, sweaty hands and lightheaded can be related to anxiey. I suggest that you hydrate well with water at least 8 - 8 ounces glasses of water per day, to ensure that you are not feeling dizzy due to dehydration. I would try not to let your fears get the best of you. If you do, you may make yourself progressively more anxious which could lead to more anxiety symptoms. I.E., it can become a vicious cycle. If you feel lightheaded and it feels like the room is spinning around you or seems to be tilting that could be vertigo. If you are lightheaded and have a low grade fever or congestion that could be a virus starting up. Currently, you are describing mild, non-specific symptoms. There does not sound like a definitive reason to seek medical care at this point. However, should your symptoms not resolve and worsen, it would be worth a call to your doctor. Take care.

Many : Many young women do experience light-headedness with their menstrual flow. Try drinking extra fluids, and eating frequent, small, high protein meals 4-5 times a day. Taking advil (ibuprofen) can help any other symptoms. If you continue to feel light-headed or faint then contact your physician, but these symptoms will most likely pass.
