Hello, 

I'm 19, and usually have really irregular periods. So I rarely get them. A few year ago I was on a contraceptive pill. Rive- something, and I didn't like it so I stopped over 2 year ago now. When I do get my period they last the typical 7 ish days and are on the heavier side. 
 

Around 5 weeks ago I started my period, and it started very heavy and till now I'm still bleeding super heavy. It's changing a tampon and flooding it every two hours- sort of heavy. It's really gotten me down the past few days and I went to A&E to get checked as I couldn't wait for my booked blood tests, (too much pain.)

They did 3 separate tests I think, took my blood pressure which was super high, and then took me to the gynocology ward, where I had the clamp and they took some swabs. Whilst I was there no one really told me any results or explained what they were even doing and it left me even more drained after and now I'm struggling more than I was. 
 

During this whole time I've had symptoms such as a swollen belly, back pain, cramping as usual, the heavy bleeding, pain when having sex, nausea, going dizzy when stood up, super tired and can't stay awake, I've had a growth of hair on my face and stuff, but thinning hair on my head. I don't know think this is related but I have also had this weird bump on my eye under my eye lid, feels as though something has popped out of my eyeball. Forgot to mention this to the nurses however. 
 

But overall I've just been feeling so worn down and poorly, I come onto here as I've seen a post similar explaining what it could be. Since I am waiting to collect some medication from the hospital (t acid), And the swab results, (I think), I wanted to hear some advice on how to cope better or even some other experiences and what came from them.

I did have a pregnancy test and I'm assuming it's negative since they didn't tell me otherwise, but yeah. I'm young I've never had kids, never miscarried, have one partner, I'm not the fittest person in general but I'm not the worst. I'm just so worried that this is something really dangerous. And I'm also worried that if they say nothing has come up I'm going to be stuck feeling like this for however long. 
 

If anyone can relate and explain what might happen, I would be so grateful. 
 

thank you x
