for the last 3 days ive been having severe reflux, it usually gets worse when im due my period but i only came off a week ago, but body feels like im due on again :( also terrible chest pressure and post nasal drip, and my mouth has been extra extra dry, and breasts especially left one is killing me arghhhhhhh x
also my neck and throat are really sore and have the head pressure back again, ribs and tummy sore too, i hate this!!! x
Hi toria, I used to suffer with awful acid reflux, constantly taking gaviscon. I now eat Gluten free bread and avoid heavy dairy. In particular milk chocolate, that was the worse thing. I don’t scrutinise food ingredients but avoiding these two things have put an end to the reflux. I still get nasal drip but that’s if I’ve eaten too much dairy. It’s as if my body can’t process it and it sticks in my throat. I also get the neck/throat issue and have recently found some yoga neck exercises which you can Google. https://www.tuneupfitness.com/blog/massage-away-your-sore-throat/
This is the link I used. I used a tennis ball although I have a yoga ball somewhere lol. A friend of mine had a similar problem and she uses massage to get rid of hers. I also get the rib pain too. I thought I was having a heart attack the first time it happened (last August) whilst I was driving. Phone consultation with Gp put my mind at rest. Possible Costochondritis?
I haven’t had breast pain for around 6 months now.
I hope you feel better soon.
I really don’t understand why there’s not more help for women going through this. We just have to ride it out but it’s flipping hard some days.
Sending hugs 
and positive thoughts. xxx
Ooh I posted about this just recently! I’d never really had reflux before, but now that I’m perimenopaual … I’m like, what??!
At first I couldn’t figure out why I was having this irritated cough (I don’t smoke or have allergies) and this sore frog-in-my-throat feeling; and then I started having this vague heartburn, a sensation I recognised from when I was pregnant ages ago. Finally a trip to the ENT confirmed reflux --I was given Gaviscon, and boy it sure made a difference!
At the same time I started looking at what I’d been consuming and made some adjustments to that – easing off on the caffeine and high dose Vit C and fish oil for instance (certain supplements do trigger reflux so perhaps check what you’re taking), and drinking my acidic juices much more diluted. Also chewing more consciously and eating smaller meals, and slower, and not late at night, near to bedtime. I feel so much better now, thank the Lord.
The pressure and sore throat you feel might be from the inflammation caused by the acid; consider trying Gaviscon or maybe Tums? Hang in there!! (and feel free to write me if you need <3 )
aw thank you terri, ive literally cut out everything bad from my diet 
its the chest pain/pressure that scares me, its mainly right sided, its been really bad for 4 days xx
aw thank you cat, my diet is really strict, unfortunately i cant take gaviscon or tums i react to everything 
xx
Is it below your ribs or higher up? Do you think it could be costochondritis?
(my yoga link for sore throats isn’t showing up?)
its my whole rib cage lovely, but its right side above my breast is the worst, ive literally had every test under the sun, i had costo last year but this feels different (maybe its not) but gerd and gastritis are so awful at the moment and skin is on blooming fire xx
also im again finding it hard to wear a bra, and all around my lower ribs hurt to touch xx
