Brief Answer:
Anemia

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I read your query.

These symptoms you describe happen typically in women suffering from anemia. Anemia is due to reduced blood hemoglobin.

This reduced blood hemoglobin causes headache and bleeding as you described.

Getting blood hemoglobin levels tested is best way to identify anemia. Also get your blood pressure checked.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Regards
