A member asked:
I suffer anemia . i am under treatment and follow doctor diet but i still feel shorten of breath all the time after my period .. what the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely: the anemia, as this gets worse with period blood loss. You should make your doctor aware, as this could be a sign of worsening anemia, in spite of treatment.
