Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
You’ve had similar symptoms in 2022, with normal heart and stomach tests and a diagnosis of anxiety. Anxiety can absolutely cause:
• Increased heart rate, especially in the morning (due to cortisol rise)
• Gas, bloating, indigestion, or IBS-like symptoms
• Muscle tension → back pain
• Fatigue after even light activity
• Heightened sensitivity near periods due to hormonal shifts
Periods & Hormonal Role
Before your periods, estrogen and progesterone drop, which can:
• Worsen anxiety or palpitations
• Make digestion slower → bloating, gas
• Cause fatigue, low energy
• Exacerbate body aches or back pain
Advise:
1. Track your symptoms across your cycle to spot patterns.
2. Limit caffeine/sugar, especially on an empty stomach.
3. Take light morning walks or yoga to ease cortisol spikes.
4. Probiotics + low-FODMAP diet might help your gut.
5. If fatigue is major: check Vitamin D, B12, iron levels.
6. For heart rate anxiety: deep breathing + relaxation apps help reset the autonomic response.
Tests:
1. CBC
2. Thyroid Profile
3. Vitamin B12 and D3
