A Question for Ladies only

[lightNlife]

I'm as regular as clockwork with my period and I've noticed that in addition to "normal" PMS symptoms like fatigue, breakouts and craving sweets, I have a noticeable change in my cough. It's more of a dry persistent cough. My voice sounds weird too, like it does when my allergies are flaring up.

My theory is that since my body has to fight so hard to maintain itself on a day to day basis, when my period comes around my body puts all its effort into that at the expense of everything else. It's sort of like my body says "all hands on deck! We're going hormonal!" and everything else is relegated to the back burner for 8 days.

Has anyone else noticed something similar around their time of the month? If so, any suggestions for keeping the cough and allergy symptoms at bay?

My time of the month gets all knocked out of wack including having or at least being more prone to hemoptysis. I really have to be careful! Its not uncommon! For whatever that is worth!

I also have hemoptysis problems during or right before my cycle.

I notice more mucus and a noticeably increased shortness of breath before & during that time.

 

[Scarlett81]

Shortness of breath for sure.

<span style=" font-size: x-small;">Thanks for bringing up this
question. I also have prob with my hemoptysis. I have told my Dr's
for awhile that I believe this to be true and they look at me like
I have worms growing out my ears! Thanks for all of you that have
shared this similar prob!
