everytime my period got gets near like a week or go couple days before i get really weak , short of breath throughout the whole cycle (not anemic btw) , constantly cold and basically all my anxiety symptoms increase by a thousand when i’m on my period. can this be anxiety ???
Now I am NOT a doctor or a medical professional of any kind BUT I say yes, yes, and yes. I can tell when my period is on its way for sure. Those are usually the days I am thinking about getting checked out at the local ER. I don't know if it is a hormonal thing or what but I definitely experience worse anxiety symptoms right before and the first few days of my period.
Yes most definitely, anxiety is triggered by hormonal changes which are happening around a week or few days before your period, this is the main reason I went on the contraceptive pill to lessen the symptoms as I use to get it bad when I was younger
It absolutely can but it can also be the hormonal changes that affect you. I can be a right miserable moo and find myself crying over some terribly cheesy telly programmes! The anxiety is worse as my periods make me feel tired at those times when I’m ovulating or about to come on. If you speak to your doctor then they may be able to suggest a way to alleviate the symptoms. There are herbal remedies that can help too but you must make sure that they would not interact with any existing medication you are on, as I know some can. All the best x
