Horrendous Heartburn
Posted , 6 users are following.
Does anyone else experience heartburn flare ups right before and or during their periods? It seems like my usual methods of taking antacids is not really doing the trick. I am on prescription Zantac. But it seems like during this period it is a bit much! Anyone get this? And what have you tried that actually works to relieve it. It seems to me that when I get heartburn during my cycle it is different from just getting heartburn after something I've eaten. I don't know if I'm making any sense but it's like it'll start leading up to my period and no matter what I eat I'll still feel the burn. But when I am not on my cycle, and I eat something that could trigge it, it is easily squelched by an antacid. Ugh! Another peri symptom to wrrestle with!

Yes I had that for 4 continuous months. It has eased now. I think it just takes it time then disappears. It's really horrible I know. Take care

Yes, food sensitivies is a big one to deal with. I had a similar situation but I found the culprit, I couldn't eat anything with pepper or heavy spices in my food. So I eliminated the pepper/spices and m heartburn was gone but it took me about a year to get over not having spice in my food.

OMG yes! I just started on medication yesterday for it. That combined with regular menstrual cramping, sore breasts, and gas pain from the acid reflux have left me feeling like I'm falling apart. I am worrying about every thing I'm feeling and becoming a bit of a hypochondriac. I am hating every minute of this.
