Is it natural to always feel tired when you get your period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: You might want to make sure you are not anemic, from excess blood loss during your period. If you are otherwise healthy, feel well at other times of the menstrual cycle, and recover quickly, then tired may be a normal symptom for you. If not, you might want to be checked for other medical problems, like anemia or thyroid disease.
