Very bad with menstruation - #125

Kavya

Good afternoon. There was a very painful pms, nausea was present at night, on the 30th day of the cycle, daubing began, but immediately stopped. (there was no such thing before menstruation) During pms, I was very worried , especially at night , I couldn 't sleep until 5 I already suffer from an anxiety disorder, I drink the antidepressant Cipralex 10mg. And today, on the 32nd day of the cycle, menstruation began in the morning. My stomach hurt a lot and I drank nurofen. It didn't get much easier and I put a warm warmer on my lower abdomen. At one point, I decided to get up and realized that I suddenly felt sick. My heart began to beat violently, it became difficult for me to stand, nausea increased and I ran to measure my blood pressure. It turned out to be elevated, my norm is 90/60 and here it is 128/89. Why can this be?

This looks like Vata & pitta imbalance leading to severe PMS symptoms. It would be ideal to have a look at the hormonal levels through a blood test. And a USG scan to rule out any pelvic inflammation, endometriosis or any other growth. In the meantime you stop all aggravating foods like hot, spicy, fried, processed foods to pacify pitta. Start with water boiled with coriander seeds throughout the day. This will cool the body & reduce the PMS too. Left nostril breathing will reduce body heat & reduce anxiety as well. Cooling Pranayama will also help - like Shitali, sitkari, bhramari etc.

I'm sorry to hear about the painful PMS, nausea, and the anxiety you're experiencing, especially with the added complexity of taking Cipralex for anxiety disorder. In Ayurveda, such symptoms during the menstrual cycle can be related to imbalances in the doshas, particularly vata and pitta. Vata governs movement in the body, and when it's aggravated, it can lead to anxiety, insomnia, and irregular menstruation. Pitta, which controls heat and metabolism, may cause increased pain and inflammation, leading to severe cramps and nausea. To help manage these symptoms, Ayurveda recommends using herbs that calm the nervous system and balance the doshas. Ashwagandha and brahmi are excellent for reducing anxiety and promoting restful sleep, while shatavari is known to support women’s reproductive health and regulate the menstrual cycle. These herbs can help soothe both your mind and body during PMS and menstruation. Externally, applying warm sesame oil or castor oil to the lower abdomen and massaging gently can help relieve cramping. You can also practice gentle yoga or pranayama (breathing exercises) to calm your mind and reduce stress. It’s important to maintain a pitta-pacifying diet during your menstrual cycle, which means avoiding spicy, sour, and fried foods. Instead, focus on eating warm, cooked meals, and include cooling and calming foods like cucumbers, leafy greens, and coconut water.
