Accepted Answer

Anxiety can do it: I suspect your cramps are gastrointestinal and not menstrual since the digestive system is controlled both by the autonomic nervous system that controls most organs  as well as the GI tract's own enteric nervous system. As a result GI symptoms are often associated with anxious states.  Feeling a of need to defecate, abdominal cramps, and heart burn (possibly your chest pain) are common in anxiety.

Question 3

why do you have menstrual cramps?

Accepted Answer

Prostaglandins: During the period, a physiologic process occurs which leads to the sloughing (shedding) of the inner lining of the uterus, known as the endometrium.  What facilitates this involves the production of very powerful chemicals by the body known as prostaglandins.  These produce very strong contractions of the uterus which in some women can be as painful as labor. This also explains menstrual diarrhea.
