artluvr09 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Can periods make dysautonomia symptoms worse? I have been lightheaded all week Then today I felt worse. I was really lightheaded and when I went outside to collect leaves and I felt so much worse as I stepped outside. it was fine weather and everything. then I was eating dinner then I keep feeling really disoriented like a zombie lfeeling like everything is an illusion or like I am in a dreamlike state. I mean I have been feeling like that for years now but it felt worse today. then I got my period this afternoon but I still feel disoriented and in a dream like state.

HopeSprings Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Yes, definitely if you're talking about POTS. It happens to me too. If you google POTS and menstruation or menstrual cycle, you'll even find blog and journal articles about this. Not sure about other forms of dysautonomia.

Faintinggoat Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Yeah periods definitely have an effect on POTS. As Naomi mentioned, you can search google for information on POTS and Mestruation. This is also something that I have seen posted on the forum before: http://forums.dinet.org/index.php?/topic/24507-ladies/?hl=period#entry229141http://forums.dinet.org/index.php?/topic/24474-advice-from-women-please/?hl=periodFainting Goat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
