So I went to the doctors again with this yesterday and he said that it sounded like anxiety with the breathing and tight chest. Had it again this morning now sending me for ecg just to check it out.

Hi
I think anxiety is such a huge part of of what we are going through and the medical profession are not really able to deal with it.
I am anxious all the time and don't have any medical reasons behind it but you can't dismiss the affects that hormones have on your body. I have felt like I'm dying so many times and think that I have a life threatening disease but in fact it's just anxiety.
I hope you feel better soon and I understand.

I think we all want answers to our problems but sometimes there are not answers availibleĀ
Sorry just my experience to peri-menopause, its just our hormones playing horrible games with us.
I totally understand what you are all going through
Love to you all xxxx

Dear Joanne
Anxiety can make your chest feel tight and you feel like you're breathing shallow but even when I haven't felt anxious in peri, I have had the breathlessness that can be another symptom, at times I felt breathless even when I was talking! Thankfully it did pass x

Hi Joanne
I also experience this triggered mainly whenever im in hot poorly ventilated places but also buses and cars. Its so scary because it totally feels like somethimg extremely bad is going to happen or im going to collapse or faint. I ended up with a full blown panic attack at work becauae of it (have had loads of tests all norma
l) i was more worried as hadn't heard from anyone going through menopause that had the sant thing.
i only seem to get temporary relief from spending a couple of hours in the sauna whenever I can, nothing else seems to work. Hope we get better soon been dealing with this for 3 years now. Take care x
