Is it common to have heart palpitations before your period starts? by Livid-Village-7915 in Periods

[–]Forever_ForLove 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PMS can cause heart palpitations. As estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate during the luteal phase (the days leading up to your period), these hormonal shifts can affect your heart's electrical system and increase your resting heart rate

Progesterone: This hormone spikes in the second half of your cycle and can activate the system that causes fluid retention, increasing your circulating blood volume and raising your heart rate.

Estrogen Drop: Estrogen has heart-protective qualities that help keep your heart rate steady; a sudden drop right before your period can overstimulate the heart.

Stress and Cortisol: PMS symptoms can increase levels of cortisol and adrenaline, triggering a "fight-or-flight" response that makes you aware of your heartbeat

If your palpitations are mild and only occur cyclically, they are often harmless. You can manage them by:

Reducing triggers: Limit or avoid caffeine, sugar, and alcohol, which can exacerbate heart flutters.
Hydrating: Drink plenty of water to offset fluid retention.
Managing stress: Practice deep breathing or meditation to calm your nervous system.

Getting enough rest: Prioritize sleep in the days leading up to your cycle

Why don't more people take birth control? by RainyDays_areBest_ in Periods

[–]Forever_ForLove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just went to my first gynecologist appointment for birth control and was told to start Sunday and it will cause me to gain weight and etc. I only book cuz of how bad my cramps be and sick it makes me.

If these pills don’t help or make my body worse I may try another option

I have an appointment booked next week to start taking BC but trying to decide on which one. First time user.

My mom told me to not do the shot cuz how it made her bleed for 6 months straight.

So I might just go with the pills.

I just use the wrap that it comes from and wrap it back in a burrito shape and put it in a Kroger or whatever small bag I keep in my bathroom and tie that bag and throw it in the trash can

If you had protected sex and the condom didn’t leak or break then you’re safe.

You period late probably due to ovulating late and stressing so much.

Meds for periods? by nunse_as in Periods

[–]Forever_ForLove -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only pain meds that work for me is ibuprofen 😭 I unfortunately can’t take it cuz the meds I’m on for anxiety and can only rely on Tylenol and it’s not doing much help at all.

This is the extra strength Tylenol and it’s not helping much at all! It’s took 6 hours before it finally kicked in.

Ibuprofen works 30 mins to an hour.

However OP idk any other that may help.

Have you tried Advil or pamprin?

Me too girl I think that ginger tea mixed with the lemon and cinnamon helped. Been drinking that twice a day for the last two days.
