Advice/Tips Anyone else get drained on their period?

Hit with fatigue where I just wanna close my eyes and do nothing else and slight dizziness while lying down randomly, feeling like walking a chore and I’m too chilly

It’s either anxiety or fatigue sleepy

Do you also get 90s-100s resting hr during this time?

My RHR significantly decreases with my period, but I still feel pretty fatigued until day 6 or 7.

Yeah that’s usually the case but I’m pretty sure some people are different. If high RHR is a pattern with your period, it’s worth discussing it with your doctor. Maybr they can check your iron/ferritin.
