Brief Answer:
rule out common medical causes; plenty of fluids.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to HCM,

I can understand your concerns.

You are on your periods. You have been feeling dizzy, sick and hot from inside but cold to touch.

Have had these symptoms earlier also?

Does these symptoms develop all of sudden?

Do you take any medications?

These common conditions which can lead to such symptoms are anemia, low blood pressure, hypoglycemia and impaired thyroid function.

Respective blood tests will help to rule out these conditions.

I would also advise you to drink plenty of water.
You can take antacid tablets like omeprazole for heartburn.
Avoid spicy and fatty foods and caffeinated drinks. Increase fruits in your diet.


Hope it helps.

Feel free to ask further,

Thanks.
