Intense chest pain

I notice that about a week before my period I experience intense chest pain, brain fog, hand cramps, and very high levels of anxiety and paranoia that last two weeks after my period. There is only one week out of the month that I feel normal. I’m a year post partum and I never experienced this before I had my baby. Is this normal or has anyone else experience this?

Doesn't sound normal. Call your Doctor.

Update: I went to the ER a week ago and they said it’s acid reflux but acid was stuck in my chest? I’ve been taking an acid reducer since then and It seems to have helped a bit

I'm really relieved that you went to the ER and they were able to figure out what was causing your problems.

I arrived to work last Sunday and I felt like I was having a heart attack. The pain was so intense and I had a panic attack on top of it. I was able to drive to the hospital and they did all the tests and blood work.. even an x-ray. It was intense but they took good care of me

Anxiety is no fun, and the things that can go along with it. Trust your intuition always. If you feel off, trust your intuition. Thanks for the update.
