The week before I start my cycle, I get the feeling of floating/dizziness along with the usual cramps, and sore boobs. I feel like this through my cycle also. I have bad dreams and anxiety. I have been diagnosed with anxiety but do not take meds for it because they make me gain weight. BUT today, I feel real bad. I am light headed and tired. What is this? Is it related? Am I just crazy. I am 26 and just want to feel normal, (what ever that is)

YOu have to eat properly, three well balanced meals a day with the proper calorie count to maintain your weight.

If you don't eat properly, you will get dizzy.

Increase your exercise for two weeks per month so you feel better. :)

Can also be from hormone fluctuations due to your period. Some women get upset stomachs, some get irritable, some feel anxious, some even get heart palpitations. Certainly eat well, as Choux suggested... if your periods tend to be on the heavy side, (and even if they aren't), you may also want to see about having your iron level checked. Low levels can also be a reason for dizziness and anxiety.
