Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
From the description it seems you are having combination of things
better you consult
you consult physician and get some investigations done to reach a diagnosis and to rule out any cardiac cause of chest pain
do not delay

Hi
If you don't have any other physical symptoms, you seem to have what is called as premenstrual syndrome. All of your symptoms fit that but to be safe than sorry, get probably an ECG or go see a physicain to rule out cardiac problems please. Otherwise my bet is on PMS as the diagnosis of your problem for which you may need to consult a OBG or Psychiatrist
Good Luck

Hi, Welcome to Healthcaremagic!
Probably, you are suffering from PMS [premenstrual syndrome], which is a very common condition. Still, please consult a general Physician for full clinical examination as well as certain tests like, Hb, thyroid function, blood glucose levels, renal functions, ECG, etc. You may also require psychological counselling or psychiatric help for secondary depression as well.
In my opinion, for a patient like you, minimizing stress with a proper doctor's help is essential. Almost all diseases are treatable if a cause is found out.
