Patient's question:
Just one day after my period, I feel dizzy and have a headache when walking or doing things. Is this normal? What measures should I take? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello, headache is a common symptom, almost everyone will experience headaches in their lifetime. Headaches are primarily caused by irritation of pain-sensitive tissues in the head, such as blood vessels, nerves, and meninges. Headaches caused by tension, fatigue, alcohol consumption, and other reasons can naturally subside after rest.

However, if dizziness persists for a long time, it should be taken seriously, as it could be a sign of a serious illness. During a cold, dizziness may accompany the symptoms, and some women may sometimes confuse anemia with a cold because both can cause fatigue and dizziness. Anemia is more common during pregnancy, and those with anemia often experience similar issues. Generally speaking, women are more prone to dizziness. Unexplained dizziness is often due to excessive stress or long-term lack of sleep, leading to temporary weakness. Other potential causes of dizziness that should not be ignored include brain tumors, high blood pressure, internal wind in traditional Chinese medicine, and cervical spondylosis.
