Does Hormonal Imbalance Cause Chest Pain In Left Side?

Hi, I have a squeezing chest pain in my upper left side, feels like indigestion but in the wrong place. I have recently had a surge of estrogen imbalance I presume, my breast have swelled and are very tender, my periods have come every other week for a few weeks now. I am not pregnant. I have chronic IBS.I am 40 yrs old and very health concious. Not over weight, eat all organic foods, excercise regularily. But this chest discomfort worries me, It is intermittant and has no rhyme or reason. Happens when I am sitting at the kitchen table, driving, bending over to pick something up. Not excercise induced. What can this be casued by? Is their a link between hormonal imbalance and chest pain?Thanks for your time.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, hormonal imbalance and such chest discomfort can be connected.
Actually, hormonal imbalance can cause stress, anxiety and mood swings.
These stress and anxiety can cause chest pressure, tightness, pain etc.
So first of all treat hormonal imbalance. So consult gynecologist and start hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Also consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. You may also need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, with proper treatment, your chest symptoms will also improve.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
