I have something very similar to what you describe. Mine started 5 weeks ago with what felt like a bad case of heartburn which then turned into a pain in one place on my chest with occasional heat feeling and I've had that pretty much all the time since. I got really panicky about it so 2 weeks ago I went to the Dr. He took my blood pressure, listened to my heart and did an ecg which were all fine, I've got to have a stress ecg because I've a strong family history of heart problems but he thinks its more a gastric problem than a cardiac one and he's given me lansoprazole for acid reflux which can cause the symptoms that I have and seem the same as you describe. I'm 44 and I believe I've been peri for about 3 years even though my Dr says that in his opinion peri doesn't really exist and you're either menopausal or you're not and because I'm still having periods, albeit irregular then I'm not! Its definitely worth talking to you're gp about your chest pain though but from what I've read reflux is really common in peri even if, like me, you've never suffered before. I'm still having the pain because I've not taken the tablets yet (I've a severe health anxiety and have problems taking medication because of fear of side effects) dumb I know but I've only been like that since my periods have been messed up so I think there's a connection. Id be interested to hear what your outcome is. Big hugs x

Its been good to find someone who has the same problem. I'm going to give the lansoprazole a try so I will let you know if it gets rid of the pain. Hope we both feel better soon. Big hugs xx

Yeah, like everyone else, I'd advice getting checked out by your GP.
other than TT, I thought 'acid reflux'.
Like many other gals on here, I've only really experienced it recntl.
Just another JOY of Premenopause!!!

Well, I started taking the lansoprazole 5 days ago for suspected acid reflux and I cant say that I'm feeling much better. I don't know if I've just not given them a chance or whether they aren't working. I'm struggling a lot with high levels of anxiety at the moment which I'm guessing isn't helping. I wad going to make another Dr appointment but my GP isn't very understanding and I'm sure just thinks I'm a neurotic female!

I take propranolol but my GP keeps messing around with the dose which makes me feel a bit faint cos it affects my blood pressure. Anxiety is a real problem cos it aggravates the already horrible physical symptoms. There just really doesn't seem to be much understanding or help from gps 😩 x
