Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The feeling of exhaustion during the periods can be due to the effect of hormonal changes and due to sudden heavy bleeding. Improper rest and unhealthy diet can add to the problem. It is best to increase your fluid intake during the periods. Since all your blood tests are normal there is no need to worry.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
