Chest tightness and shortness of breath before menstruation

When girls reach puberty, they will naturally have their periods. Due to different physical conditions, the symptoms will be different before, during, or after menstruation.

Premenstrual syndrome is closely related to the increased ratio of estrogen to progesterone in the body. Excessive or relatively excessive estrogen in the body causes water and sodium to be retained on the surface of the body, resulting in symptoms of edema and headache. In addition, people who are usually nervous, irritable and depressed are also prone to premenstrual syndrome. This discomfort usually occurs when menstruation does not come early, starting seven to fourteen days later and worsening two to three days before menstruation. It manifests as mental tension, nervousness, irritability, depression, general fatigue, easy fatigue, insomnia, headache, inattention, memory loss, etc. Some people may also experience edema of the hands, feet and face, bloating and pain in the lower abdomen, and breast pain, etc.
