    Not only on peri but post as well. It is non ending.

    Anxiety and stress are a major trigger for this.

    I always look like I am 5 months preggars.

    Diet is important. Avoid things that make u gassy.

    Ahhh being a woman is horrible.

      Had to stop HRT and feeling the worse.

      Hate everything and everyone.

      Have a hysteroscopy booked for the 30th. My 2 yr partner left without giving me a proper reason.

      Not a happy puppy at the moment.

      Just drowning in my work and kids.

      I was in Vienna and had such bad wind that it would wake me up at night. One morning I woke up so badly that I was taken to the hospital there.

      I changed my diet cut out all fizzy drinks, reduced caffeine intake, avoid alcohol.

      When I arrived at the Austrian ER they gave me a tranquilliser. Helped loads.

      Anxiety is a massive trigger and I suffer from it.

      What a life.

    Yes Kim I have had this all too many times and it escalates my anxiety too. I have gone to the ER a few times too only to be given an antacid and discharged after the necessary tests were run. It is alarming but not uncommon in peri. We have a lot of digestive issues in peri because some of the receptors for estrogen and progesterone are in the digestive tract. A GI doctor told me this. He said that this is why women have gas, bloating and other intestinal issues during their period.

    Oh ive been there...went to the ER twice this summer making sure i was not having a heart attack and all labs and everything cardiac was normal.  Had indigestion, burning in my chest, achy cheeks and arms....  Luckily the ER doc told me that i was right to come in and i was where i needed to be.  He also said he did not think it was anxiety!!  He then told me that anxiety was a diagnosis of exclusion....you need to rule out other things too as they all share common symptoms.  Now at least you can rest assured that your heart is good and concentrate on finding relief for other things.  My endoscopy  said reflux and gastritis...i have the gas/burps dizziness, eye issues, full head, muscles achy sore and TWITCHING like crazy!!  I just want to be myself again....hard to make it through the work day sometimes...i just take it hour by hour.  this all began in May...haven't had a period since June.  I think it is related.
