Chest Pain During Period with POTs

Hey y’all. Does anyone with POTs get periods of chest pain during their period? Or in general? Like it feels like your chest wall muscles are burning? And it kind of moves around to different Muscles. Also in your legs? It’s been happening for a few days and I want to make sure I’m not crazy.

100%. The whole reason I finally got diagnosed was I kept having episodes where it felt like I was having a full on heart attack- tachycardia, chest pain, pain down left arm, difficulty speaking/breathing. Whole nine yards.

Thank you so much for responding! My Mom is a cardiac nurse and she has been trying to talk me down about it because I don’t have many actual symptoms. I needed to hear this from someone who has the same thing

Yes all the time. My boyfriend just makes me take a deep breath for a couple minutes and it usually goes away on its own, but in the meantime it's ridiculously painful

Yes! I’m currently experiencing burning sensations in my chest specifically on the left side. There is also chest pain and left arm pain. It make me so scared and I feel like I should rush to ER because it may be a heart attack.

This makes total sense because POTS can cause blood flow issues and a period can really mess up your blood pressure
