Hello ladies. This is my first time posting on this forum. I am 41 years old and have been suffering with health anxiety for the last year. I have had all the test done ekgs echocardiogram chest xrays blood work thyroid checked other than a little anemia docs say I'm all good. I am around 4 days away from my period and I've been very anxious for the last 2 days. Symptoms that I have been having are
Racing heart
Heart Palps
Hot flashes
Insomnia
Racing thoughts that something terrible is wrong
crying for no reason
Very gassy and bloated heart burn
I'm most concerned about racing heart and palps. My question is this normal? can all this be linked to my period. I need help I feel lost and scared and I dont want to go to er but I'm also scared not to.. some one please help

Hi Renee,
I'm 52 and I started on this awful path at 48. For me, it almost happened overnight and when it began it turned my life upside down. This forum and another that I am on (Menopause Chit Chat Forum) have been a huge comfort for me.
I literally cried at my doctor's office when this all began convinced I was dying. When all of my blood, ekg, echocardiogram, stress test, came back normal, I couldn't believe it. I could not understand how I could feel so badly and not being dying from some disease.
I will tell you that I am not 'back to myself' as hard as I have tried. I go through good and bad stretches with no rhyme or reason. Right now, I am having a very hard time. Since the end of August, I have been suffering from aches and pains, awful anxiety, migraines and terrible digestive issues.
I go to bed each night and pray for a better day.
Some go through this with ease and others like me have to endure it. Not easy for sure. Glad you have found us. It's a wonderful community of very caring women.
