Is This Normal? 🤔 To feel exhausted before my period? Yes — it can be

[00:00:00]Dr. Ner, is this normal feeling exhausted all the time before your period?

[00:00:06]>> So, fatigue can be a symptom of changing hormones and right before a period are when our hormones are at their lowest.

[00:00:14]When I'm talking about hormones, I'm talking about estrogen progesterone are at their lowest and that what what's causing the actual menstrual cycle or the bleeding that you're having. So, fatigue can be a manifestation of that or a symptom of that, but again, it's not something I would ignore. I would have that worked up because fatigue can also be a sign that you are iron deficient or that you're anemic or your thyroid is abnormal or you have some other nutritional deficiency. So, don't ignore it. Definitely report it.
