Heartburn and Menstration
| Fri, 06-15-2007 - 9:35am |
For a few months, I have been experiencing HORRIBLE heartburn.....it does not make a difference if I eat slow or avoid spicy or greasy foods. I have noticed that it usually occurs 7-10 before I begin my period. The heartburn only lasts for a few days. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this?

Welcome mollyqueen!
I experienced many issues around the time of menstruation, so what you are describing certainly might be related to the time of month. Have you brought this up to your gynecologist? He/she might be a good starting point, since you notice the problems in correlation to your menses.
Here is some basic information about heartburn, read through it and see if it is helpful for you....
