Rib Pain, Tiredness, Weakness Post Periods. Treatment Options?

I am a 33 yr old mother of 4. I have just finished my period but I am finding that my ribs ache and I feel very tired and weak. I am unsure why I am feeling this way. I have not change anything, nor have I been doing much but trying to get rest. However, I still find I feel so tired and weak. Any suggestions on what it could be, if anything at all?

Hi.
Thanks for choosing HCM.
You may have anaemia due to blood loss during MC [if it is heavy] & some deficiencies like Vit -D etc
Need a bit detailed history to decide.Rule out possibility of Diabetes.
Try taking some tablets of Iron & Calcium with Vit-D added as well as Multi-vitamins.
See a doctor if not improved.
Take care.
