Hello and welcome to health care magic
There is a hormone produced in body known as prostaglandin.Ithe is responsible for dizziness and other symptoms of menstrual periods like cramps headache nausea etc.You can give paracetamol for all these symptoms as paracetamol i's prostagalndin blocker.
It can be due to heavy periods proused that she completely soaks more than 5 pads per day than take her immediately to Obs/gynae Er.
