i too feel the same way about a week before and a week after my period. its a few days before my period right now and i feel my chest is tight. i also have a problem of sore throat and a feeling that my throat is very heavy a week before my period. my back,shoulders and neck ache and i get depressed and feel that i can never be like i was before taking this crap. and all this when i was on yasmin for only 1 month and 2 days extra before i realised that yasmin was causing me severe sore throat. i even had a upper gi series to check for reflux and the GI told me i was fine. i actually feel better if i take some warm steam. if anyone ever finds out the reason behind this feeling of heavy and sore throat please find time to put it up on this site.
