anxiety/chest pain right before period... anyone?

Hello,

So I too have had all the heart tests run on me. for the past two years thought I was having heart attack or fainting. Everything normal. Its stopped for a while and now I only have pvc's but I hardly feel those anymore. I woulud get major anxiety when I would feel them but now that I know what they are i dont freak out.

Last month around the 10th I started feeling nauseaus, light headed and then had major chest tightness, pain and pressure. I was traveling and stressed out so I thought anxiety but at one point almost went to the ER. xanax didnt even take the pressure away. I had this for 3 days and then bam, i got my period.

Then on Monday, Tues, Weds... of THIS month, same thing. chest tightness at night, pressure. almost went to the tues but didnt. It was awful butterflies in my chest. Any noise that would sound or lightening that would go off... my chest would drop and more pressure. Then bam... i got my period today.

Any correlation? I have had all my hormone levels checked and everything normal. Just wondering if anyone experiences this?

Appreciate any feedback!

I have had this.  When you have time,do a search on progesterone and anxiety.  When I was on the high progesterone birth control pills, I only had flutters now and then.  After four years my dr switched me to an estrogen pill.  My world came crashing down.  

Hope this  helps
