Gas and bloating in Chest area

Hi Ladies!

I was wondering if any of you ever experience having chest discomfort that feels like gas? It sometimes migrates into the shoulder or back and the arm. I usually experience this during ovulation and or right before a period. Sometimes it can feel like trapped gas. That's the best way to describe it. I am concerned because I heard that sometimes gas in the chest area can be heart related so I asked for a referral to a Cardiac doctor. Anyone experience this before?

    Oh my goodness, yes. And it scares the pants off of me. It causes my anxiety to ramp up. I get it at the same time of my cycle as you. I bought Serrapeptase to take and it has helped a bit with this. I take 2 upon waking in the morning and it has seemed to help me a bit. Dont worry, you aren't alone in this symptom.

      Yeah. I caught a stomach virus from my 2 year old last week and I am also due for a period soon. This really made the gas in my chest to act up. My anxiety was really bad yesterday because of it. It's awful! Is that some kind of gas medicine that you take? Is it prescription or over the counter.

      Serrapeptase is a natural anti inflamitory and can be purchased on Amazon. So sorry about that virus, I have a 4 year old and we do pick up all of their illness from them.

      Sharcev,  It sure helped calm down those chest pains you get from the peri. I could not believe how scary they were. The Serrapeptase has made them much more tolerable and since I have taken it in the past 2 weeks, they have reduced dramatically. I feel like I finally found something that has given me a bit of relief. LOL

      Ha ha, yes. I was a little freaked out when I read about it, but since it has been working by keeping away the chest pain, I dont even mind. LOL

      My mum used it she had fibrosis of the lungs and died from it in 2012. I thought I recognised the name.

      Hi Snowbell,

      She lived longer than expected so maybe.

      I think in the same way she researched her problem and did whatever she could afford to do to help, homeopathy, acupuncture, she also had skennar treatment and other alternative things.

      I try to be the same I think with this meno stuff even before I knew it was meno related, finding a new something that gives us hope keeps us going.
