Have been dizzy for a couple of weeks and also have a big cyst. I just got my period. Was wondering if this is a sign of endometriosis? Has anyone experienced dizziness a few weeks before there period?

I'm sorry you had to experience that. Passing out is very scary. I had times where I literally felt I was going to pass out, hearing went and saw white/gray. I had these symptoms when I was on a regular birth control and it happened a dee days before my surgery in 2017. Now I'm on a progestin only pill and I'm experiencing different side effects such as the dizziness and when I est after the body starts digesting my diapgrham starts to hurt. I usually used to just get very full quickly so I'm careful as to what I eat. Yes, I do get that as well when you know you have it your body sends off signals. I also have a 5 cm cyst and am also menstruating so that could also be the cause. I'd had the dizziness since Christmas. Could also be a chemical imbalance with contraceptives as well adding to the bulk. I just wish Drs knew more and had a simple test to determine endo instead of doing it laproscropy. Good luck to you and stay strong!

Yes, I've had similar reactions with my body, a week to week and a half before Period. To the point of passing out ….now its a pattern that I've noticed when i'll start to those "pass out feeling"...I know now as soon as that happens to sit down on the ground right away....try and catch my breath...and that usually helps. To me it would be a fast pace walk from inside the house out to the car and back...hardly a workout....but then I would get dizzy and feel like I'm going to black out.

Funny thing is, that It happens at random times.
However, I did actually pass out in pubic once, and was only just sitting on the edge of a river waiting for boyfriend and his friends to come floating in.(not doing any movement or exercising) …..long story short I woke up with like 3 ladies around me....calling the ER,....ER ride, so...,before a year ago...never had any issues...

now age 34, these dizzy head aches, and random passing out, only in the time frame week before Period. I've Never had these before.. ever since then....I've been advised I have endometriosis, should see a specialist...., I've been doing my own research and readings...and still in the process of trying to connect with the Specialist. But... this has only been the beginning of this journey so far. SO good luck on yours, and hope...that made sense...

so yes, I have it too. Not quite sure why. Or if this is a normal symptoms … and if again , I do for sure have endometriosis, because it was a 85% gut feeling the doc said. That I may have it, but advise to see someone.....(I'm working on that...dragging my feet though, denying that this isn't true) but.....soon I will.

I get dizzy when im having a massive endo flare. Dizzy and sickness. Horrible. Never had any treatment. Doctors tend to focus more on the endo tbh x 💛🎗️

I have told my dr about it and they dont know what it could be. Most likely a cyst. I read it online. Was wondering if anyone experienced similar symptoms...
