In the last year I have started to develop physical symptoms of anxiety - breathlessness, IBS, chest pain, numb face, internal tremors, dizzyness, nausea etc. It started with just breathlessness and then more and more symptoms developed over time. I had no idea what this was and have been told by the docs that they are anxiety problems. I am not a stereotype anxious person, anyone would say I am pretty confident and chilled. However, I trust the doc that these are due to anxiety - wherever that is coming from... what I have noticed though is that my symptoms come on around my period and also when I ovulate. I am fine for the rest of the month. If these 'anxiety' symptoms have been brought on by hormone levels, how can I go about treatment? I have always have problems with my periods and my symptoms each month are always extreme; endometriosis, heavy periods, awful pain, sweating, very bad skin, very painful breasts etc - so I guess hormone related issues wouldn't surprise me... any ideas???
