To all the ladies on here!?

Does anxiety get really bad before/during your period? I get really bad before my period I get chest tightness, shortness of breath, my knees get this weird tightness, headaches and calf pains which send my health anxiety spinning out of control.

Yes I do get worse, everything seems to go into overdrive. It's a horrid time, I really don't know what to suggest though, sorry. Someone else might have some ideas though

Take care xx

[LadySaabra]

Yes it does

not sure if its a direct thing or because I tend to be raging all over and patience is bare...now I've got myself to a stage I can go out more I find walking helps a little - really pacing, stomping out the rage...burns it up nicely. I do try to avoid the cola at this time but I tend to crave it more at this time of month

Hi,

Yes I'm the same!

I've started taking b6 vitimin and evening primrose. It seems to do the trick xx

I agree, I worry like crazy when feeling emotional, currently I have the achey calf and tiredness, on the weekend I almost freaked out that my asthma was flaring up feeling "tight chested" even though it turned out I was fine! I'm on a new contraception so I'm waiting for that to settle. Chocolate has a proven good effect on the mind and a good walk will release the happy endorphins

Thank you all for replying!!

I always avoid walking because of the leg pains I get. maybe I should just suck it up and go for a walk.

:)) yes the cola craving and I have to avoid it this time of the month it make the anxiousness 10Xs worse.

the chest tightness scares me accompanied by the shortness of breath, why does it happen?Bambam I'm glad it was not your asthma.

Chocolate sounds good right now lol
