Hi Ladies!
I was wondering if any of you ever experience having chest discomfort that feels like gas? It sometimes migrates into the shoulder or back and the arm. I usually experience this during ovulation and or right before a period. Sometimes it can feel like trapped gas. That's the best way to describe it. I am concerned because I heard that sometimes gas in the chest area can be heart related so I asked for a referral to a Cardiac doctor. Anyone experience this before?
Does it feel tight to breath? I get acid reflux which burns my throat and mouth. It's horrible isn't it ?
Oh my goodness, yes. And it scares the pants off of me. It causes my anxiety to ramp up. I get it at the same time of my cycle as you. I bought Serrapeptase to take and it has helped a bit with this. I take 2 upon waking in the morning and it has seemed to help me a bit. Dont worry, you aren't alone in this symptom.
No not really only if it sends me into a panic.
Yeah. I caught a stomach virus from my 2 year old last week and I am also due for a period soon. This really made the gas in my chest to act up. My anxiety was really bad yesterday because of it. It's awful! Is that some kind of gas medicine that you take? Is it prescription or over the counter.
I get this also. I also get it when I'm ovulating, during, and after my period. It is very scary. I get panic attacks bad when it happens. I haven't figured out what works for it yet but you are not alone.
Hi sharcerv,
Which shoulder if it's your right it could be gall bladder. Gall bladder disease is very common in women in their 50s especially post meno.
No all happens on left.
Absolutely! The referred gas goes to get back , arm muscles, I'd even get it in my thigh or something silly.
Not to say your shouldn't get checked out but yes I get it in random places in the upper chest body area
I have and my Dr put me on famotidine. It is a medication for gerd. And it works for me
Yes! I have had this several times, sending me to the ER 3 times! First time I was diagnosed with Gerd and gallstones, I'm on Nexium for Gerd and had my gallbladder out on March 2nd. I've had 2 cardiac ctas, chest X-rays, and numerous ekgs, all were normal. The gallbladder surgery took away most of my back pain, but still have weird random pains in back sometimes. Still need to get checked Hope all is ok. Let us know.
I went to the ER for it and was told it was GERD. I have famotidine also but I haven't tried it yet.
Serrapeptase is a natural anti inflamitory and can be purchased on Amazon. So sorry about that virus, I have a 4 year old and we do pick up all of their illness from them.
Jamie try looking into the Serrapeptase, its been helping with this symptom alot
Yes I looked it up. Have you tried it? Does it help with any peri related issues?
Wow i forgot about serrapeptase. Im going to research that for my intestinal inflammation
Sharcev, It sure helped calm down those chest pains you get from the peri. I could not believe how scary they were. The Serrapeptase has made them much more tolerable and since I have taken it in the past 2 weeks, they have reduced dramatically. I feel like I finally found something that has given me a bit of relief. LOL
Yes, its supposed to reduce inflammation greatly anywhere you have it in the body
Thanks, Im going to look that up ASAP.
Goodness yes il email a reminder to myself now
