Hi,
Thanks for the query.
As long as you are getting menstrual periods, there is possibility of pregnancy.
As you are having irregular periods, better to go for pregnancy test.
If the test shows negative result, the symptoms you are having could be due to hormonal effect.
Once check for hemoglobin levels, blood sugar levels, thyroid profile and serum FSH levels.
If your doctor advices go for ultrasound once.
By this workup the cause of your problem can be identified and also the cause for your irregular periods can be pointed out.
According to management can be planned.
If no abnormality is detected symptomatic treatment with antacids may cure the symptoms.
Take care.
