With my last two periods, I have been experiencing a horrible acid reflux/heartburn feeling in the pit of my stomach and lower esophagus – in the middle of my body, under my breast bone. At this time I also experience what I can only describe as hunger pangs/pains. I "feel" like I need to eat something all the time even though I am not hungry or have just eaten.

My diet is not altered during these times and the problems start right as my menstrual cycle starts. I have been drinking a lot of water to combat this problem as well as trying TUMS, nothing has helped.

Has this happened to any of you, and if so how do you treat it?

NOTE: I have no symptoms of acid reflux/heartburn etc. after my period has ended.
I have googled it. . . I found no help. Seems this problem is common during pregnancy, possibly due to hormones.
