Unlikely: If you are bleeding heavily the system might not have time to compensate for the lost blood cells. The blood volume might get replaced with more water content (plasma) so there might be relative deficiency of oxygen reaching the brain and that might make you feel dizzy.

Period: If the period is heavy with significant blood loss, it can lead to low BP
