Has anyone experienced having the feeling like it's a little hard to breath. You feel like there is a heavy feeling in between your breasts? I get this sometimes during my cycle not a constant phenomenon.

    I too had the feelings this summer and thought as it seemed to be constant that I had a chest infection. Doc checked thoroughly and pronounced that it was anxiety causing it. I still get it, but knowing what it is, go and sit quietly for a minute or two and breathe, counting in and out (usually in the ladies loo at work!!). That seems to help. I'm two years full menopause so no cycle so don't know if that makes a difference - but more than likely related. As the other ladies have said - get yourself to your GP, just to be on the safe side.
