Can Anxiety attacks affect a womans period?
I went through a really bad break up and during that time, which was 2 weeks ago I had anxiety attacks. I still get choked up thinking about it, can that have an affect on my period?
I’m having PMS symptoms, sore boobs and all….I’m just 3 days late and I know I cant be pregnant.Just someone told me my attacks could have pro-longed them.

Absolutely, they can. There’s that many things that can affect the mentrual cycle. However, if you did have sex any time within the period of your last period until now, get a pregnancy test; because unless you used a condom, etc and it didn’t break, there’s a chance you can be preggers.
There are so many things that can affect your periods. Stress, anxiety, change in eating habits (such as dieting), excessive exercising, and the list goes on……
Yes, do some stress-relieving exercise.
Yes,Anxiety attacks can affect and usually does affect your entire body in some fashion,and form.There is treatment available,get it.
OH my yes, this happens to me ALL the time. ALLLLL the time. Can’t tell you how many times- must have been fifty times. Do some exercise, drink some healthy tea, get your mind of it and you will start your period and be just fine! ;0)
yes any stress can prolong your menstrual cycle .go see a dr if it is that bad they can give u something for both stress and menstrual problems.
well after I went througha break up I had really bad anxiety attacks too. But all the merry my period still came at its usual time maybe a couple days late. if it is late it is probably because of the stree of anxiety attacks.
Stress, anxiety, emotional upset…can all affect periods, yes.
yeah, anxiety attacks are related to stress, which sometimes cause late or missed periods.
Good luck!
