Hello doctor,
My symptoms started last night. Got my period yesterday afternoon. I feel more nauseous than usual during my period. I am also feeling woozy, and when I walk, it is a little unbalanced because of the wooziness. Also, my stomach is a bit upset, and I have been burping more than usual. Last night when I burped, it felt like I was going to throw up, and I had that aftertaste as if I did. Feel like I want to throw up. My poop has been very loose and sometimes more like diarrhea as of the past week. Also, my blood pressure has been a little high with a fast heartbeat when I overdo myself. It is important to note that I am a type 2 diabetic and have acid reflux. I am currently on Metformin and Ranitidine. If you can give me some answers, I would truly be appreciative. Not feeling so hot. Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand all your concerns.
You have irritable bowel, which sometimes comes with the period because of your stress and pain. Symptoms of irritable bowel include bloating, burping, and loose stools, which are relieved partially after defecation.
The condition is transient and will improve within a few days. However, these symptoms may be aggravated by the type of food you eat. So, I recommend a light homemade diet for the next few days.
Also, blood sugar levels need to be checked as elevated blood sugar may develop similar symptoms. I suggest:
In case you have severe period pains take Ibuprofen 400 mg as a painkiller.
Please provide me with your last blood pressure readings to better judge that. For further advice, please do not hesitate to follow up.
