Can Anxiety attacks affect a womans period?

Question: I went through a really bad break up and during that time, which was 2 weeks ago I had anxiety attacks. I still get choked up thinking about it, can that have an affect on my period?

I'm having PMS symptoms, sore boobs and all..I'm just 3 days late and I know I cant be pregnant.Just someone told me my attacks could have pro-longed them.

Answers:
Absolutely, they can. There's that many things that can affect the mentrual cycle. However, if you did have sex any time within the period of your last period until now, get a pregnancy test; because unless you used a condom, etc and it didn't break, there's a chance you can be preggers.

Other Answers:
There are so many things that can affect your periods. Stress, anxiety, change in eating habits (such as dieting), excessive exercising, and the list goes on..
