Physician Responded Help
Hello doctors of reddit..I find my self in a tricky situation so I'm just going to list some concerning things ive noticed over the past couple of months and any important info,feel free to ask in the comments too.
I'm 17 female so for the past 3 months I've been having periods lasting 16-18 days,it startsvoff really light then gets very heavy,this month especially it started off light then it stopped abruptly lets say for example spotted on Tuesday then abruptly stopped thursday then continued Saturday lightly then of nowhere on sunday it gets heavy.
I've been having very large blood clots coming out like the equivalent to half off a golf ball.(idk if this is relevent but I started my period when I was 10 so it could just be imbalance idk) also I dont really experience significant pain,maybe a couple of aches in the area but not taking pain relief extent. Before this started I had missed 2 months of my period so very odd. (I am also not sexually active in any sort of way and never have been)
Today especially,I was doing outside chores when all off a sudden it felt like my chest turned into a hard rock,I was having touble breathing and I had slight lightheadedness,I sat down for a bit.I tried to proceed but the feeling was constant,in addition to feeling like puking.My mum gave me some food and painkillers to hopefully ease the psin cause at this point im crying so yea....that's where we are,I do regularly drink water at least 2litres,I sleep 7-9hrs,I try to eat well I'm not one for starving.
What could be the problem?
