Hello,

You are experiencing light headedness, nausea, pins and needles on the left side, sensitivity to light, migraine (left side), chest pain (left side) after you got your periods. You have not mentioned your age, such symptoms may be common in perimenopausal women. Due to hormonal imbalance peri menopausal women may experience light headedness and symptoms you experienced.

Get your T3, T4, TSH examination done at the earliest. You will be treated accordingly. Sensitivity to sound may be indicative of inner ear problem, impacted wax, AOM, COM, tinnitus, vertigo, etc. Get your ears examined, get tests and required investigations done and get treated at the earliest.

Pins and needles sensation commonly occurs due to deficiency of vitamin B6, B12, Folate or developing peripheral neuropathy. Take diet rich in vitamin B6, B12, folate or take supplements. Get stress test, echo, lipid function tests done to detect any developing coronary artery disease, you will be treated accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
