Need help with crazy symptoms

Hi. I have had this going on for a while and just wonder if anyone else has this going on...and if so, if you know what it is...and how to deal with it.

Usually about one week before my menstrual cycle, and sometimes even during and after....I will get this strange feeling come over me...feels like it's in my shoulders (almost like when you drink wine and it hits you) and then I get a hot flash almost hot and cold really....then my stomach goes crazy and not to be gross, I feel like I need to run to the bathroom, and my heart races. My doctor prescribed xanax. I have taken it under really bad instances, but I try to work through it. It almost mirrors the feeling you get when motion sickness first hits. Of course, my doctor has no clue, except to call it a panic attack. But why would it just come on when I'm perfectly calm..for instance last night when I was walking my dog? Anyone? :wave:
 
Hi it does sound like a classic anxiety attack. I have had anxiety attacks since I was 17 or so. It is probably due to the change in hormone levels. I know that a week before my menstrual period I feel anxious and at times will have a panic attack.
 
Hi there,

Sorry to hear that you are having a tough time.

I have experienced something similar to this before my period also, but not quite as intense as you have explained.

I had severe depression and mild anxiety for a number of years and I was on many medications which only made me feel strange, and then I visited a naturopath and learned about the important of diet and many common conditions.

Anyway i won't bore you with the details but when I started to eat organically, and rid my body all the hormones induced and chemical saturated foods, I experienced a complete turn around in 4 months.

This could be something for you to consider, before going to a doctor who will only put you on some stupid pill that won't actually help but only mask the problem

Hope you feel better soon,
