fitnesskelly Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 I know that symptoms can get worse around the menstrual cycle...this is more about symptoms that don't occur every month.Most months, I seem to have worse symptoms the second half of the month - insomnia, blood sugar problems, more pain, more headaches, painful breasts, more bloating. HOWEVER, I have months where I feel pretty good in the second half of my cycle and the symptoms are non-existent or nearly non-existent. Not in menopause, have had hormones checked a number of times and nothing jumps out as being way off, have tried stuff like wild yam cream and it made me feel worse, I take iodine...it doesn't appear to be driven by hormones. For the life of me, I can't tie it to anything I'm doing different in certain months.Do you ladies find that you have a similar pattern? Some better and some worse monthly cycles?

momandmore Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I've been wondering about this. I have POTS and I have one daughter with neurocardiogenic syncope and an irregular heartbeat that may be genetic. Because of this I decided to check another daughter's heart rate and it was really high a lot of the time. I took her to the pediatrician and now we have to see a cardiologist. I've been recording her heart rate and after being high for two weeks, now it seems normal. I don't know what to think and what to say when I get to the appointment if she seems very normal then. I will take our record of her heart rates. I really have no idea of why it would be so high and now normal for the last few days, except for her period starting.

MomtoGiuliana Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I typically feel worse in the days prior to my period. But it can be variable as to how much worse from one month to the next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
