I have been on my period non stop now for almost 3 weeks, is this normal?

This is a common scenario on the approach to the menopause and can continue for some time.

However, frequent/heavy periods are not good for you and can cause anaemia which in turn can cause the fatigue and dizziness plus low mood, poor sleep etc so it is important that you see your doctor about this.

Some doctors do just say that it is ok but don't be fobbed off and make sure that they offer some form of support and treatment for you!
