I am a 37 year old with a strange feeling i can't describe well, over the years, back to when i was a teenager. but more often now days as i get older. i have recently noticed it happens more around my period, i never noticed before because it was so few and far between these episodes. anyway, it's like a reminiscent feeling, strong, comes on slowly, i feel little confused and faint, but only did ONCE, and it passes in like a minute or so. i usually lay my head down and dont' wanna talk. but i am completely coherent, sp?) about what is going on around me, just feel really sublime and peaceful after wards. tired but it doesn't feel like panic, maybe anxiety? i have had problems with nerves for long time, am currently on zoloft, i have been checked out, discussed this with a few dr's. all of which think it's panic attacks. i thought those lasted a while and felt scarey?? this isn't really scarey, just almost like de javu

I am the same age you are (37,) and a very similar thing started happening to me just this year.
Right before my period, I get a bit more "spacy" or "out of it" than usual. I'll be more forgetful of things that have happened. I have more migraines and nausea. I will feel depressed and cry a lot. This was NEVER typical for me before this year. During the times when I feel upset, it's not that I don't want to talk, but I have the sensation that I can't. I can't explain what is going on. I also get deja vu.
A weird sense of deja vu and really odd sense of unreality can occasionally point to partial seizure activity. My doctor said "no" to this. I went to a neurologist who also said "not likely at all" to this.
About 7-10 years before a woman goes through menopause, "perimenopause" starts to happen. Basically, this means that PMS gets rougher for everybody. Whatever psychological or neurological problems you had before are likely to intensify in the 3-7 days before your period.
This doesn't mean we are going to experience early menopause. It's just that at least a decade before menopause, sensitive people experience more intense pms.
By the way, I carry a diagnosis of panic attacks by history (last one 2 yrs ago.) I'm also being treated for an anxiety disorder. My doctor has started to modify my medication ONLY during the week before my period, which has helped. PMDD (pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder) is often diagnosed in the late 30's or early 40's. It's just a more severe form of PMS.

Hi yes I get anxiety attacks before my period. I get hot and cold then I have a strange feeling of fear and then it passes. I sometimes feel like I'm in another world it's hard to describe but I know what you mean. It sux but I know its I guess normal for me. Hang in there.

when all your hormones change for your menstral cycle, you have different sensations-some women have diarrhea, dizzy spells, headaches, ect. what i think is that when all these changes come hormones especially you have alot of water buildup and that in turn put pressure on all the nerves endings. i have at times experienced similar happenings and i am 50. hoping you get your answer. god bless!!

Yes, that happens to me as well. I also get these weird pains in the pit of my stomach or hipbones days before (like two or three days) my period.
