Hello.

Happy holidays to you all and thank you for taking the time to read this.

I've never had any issues with my period ever since I was young. The past couple of periods have been a bit different! I experience sever bloating, thighs will get really ache and uncomfortable, it's weird.

Today I started my period and i woke up with a heavy feeling in the back of my head. Then tonight I had a couple of sharp pains in my side and leg and some aches in the middle of my chest.

I just want some reassurance that this is normal!

    That just sounds like bad cramps my sister always get chest pains during her period. I get extreme lower back and hip pain. If it keeps happening just go to your obgyn nothing is better than reassurance though i think you should be fine my other sis never gets crampy on her period and one day she did and started crying because she never knew how painful cramps are so i think you should be fine as long if its not happening with any other periods just take ibuprofen for the pain
