 In a 2006 study, it was found that women with PMS experience a much greater decline in blood carbon dioxide in the premenstrual phase than women who do not experience symptoms.
As progesterone increases and blood Carbon Dioxide (CO2) decreases, symptoms appear. When the luteal phase ends, progesterone decreases, CO2 levels normalise, and symptoms disappear. The study concluded that women with PMS have higher than normal sensitivity to CO2, perhaps caused by progesterone, resulting in ‘pronounced hyperventilation’ - and that the hyperventilation is responsible for the symptoms. If you experience PMS symptoms we can help to correct your breathing! |
