Post by: Oc646 on Aug 11, 2012 You need to be extra careful about your diet. taking iron will help, also eating enriched grains, dark green veggies, meat(if you eat it). Without iron in your blood you will have less energy and feel faint because your blood will not be able to carry as much oxygen. This is common for women in the menstrual cycle age.
