Fasting and Periods and Science Labs

So I guess it's not okay to fast when you're on your period and doing a heart related science lab. Usually when I start to feel sick, I fast for about a day or so and then I feel better right away. I swear by this, starving viruses really works. But I think this was just bad timing. This morning I didn't eat breakfast because I knew I was getting sick. But I forgot that I had a science lab today where we had to take eachothers' pulse after exercising and stuff. So I think the combination of me already being a tiny bit squeamish, not eating breakfast, being on my period, and feeling sick did me in. I started to get all dizzy and pale and sweaty and had to lay down for a little while. It was pretty embarrasing, seeing as how this is the first week of class and now my lab partners probably think I'm a pussy. Haha oh well. I guess I learned my lesson: Don't fast when you're on your period and about to do a lab in biology!
