Random period related symptoms including ear popping and arm pain

[Loughranx]

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone else gets really random symptoms around their period?

Over the last few months, every cycle seems to bring something different. I've had:

• Hay fever-like symptoms (even though I don't normally have hay fever).
• Both ears feeling full with constant popping every few seconds.
• An odd aching/nerve-like pain from my elbow to my wrist that feels like I need to shake or squeeze my arm, but nothing relieves it. It's bad enough to make it difficult to sleep.

The symptoms usually happen during my period and can last for a few days to about a week afterwards before settling.

Has anyone experienced anything similar, or found out what was causing it? I'm wondering if it could be hormone-related or if it's something else.

Thanks! 😊

Changing hormones can mimic the hay fever and popping ears symptoms.

Have you been using a phone or tablet a lot to effect your arm/hand?

No, I don't actually have hay fever symptoms now. It was just something I'd had around my period before. The arm feeling is more like a weird tendon/ache or nerve sensation rather than actual pain. It feels like I need to shake or squeeze my arm, but nothing relieves it.
The last two periods it's been my ears instead. They've felt full and have been constantly popping, and it doesn't stop until nearly a week after my period finishes. It honestly feels like my hormones are all over the place and causing these random new symptoms every month. The ears are really starting to get to me. 😩

Have you checked your blood pressure?

Have a look on the NHS website for 'Frozen Shoulder' too x

This!!! 3 of my friends have these symptoms also!!! The arm though!!! What is it, nothing helps that ache. Exactly as you describe it. 180mg of Fexofenadene for the ‘Hayfever like’ symptoms helps.

@BrazilianBumBum do they deal with the ear fullness also this is 2 period it has happened with but carries on past period for a few days to a week and its getting frustrating now with each month i get all these different symptoms and I believe its hormonal related but unsure
