During my period, I am experiencing a discharge of tissue ranging from the size of a fingerprint to a teaspoon, severe cramps from my bellybutton to my lower abdomen, and heavier periods than before. I had my tubes tied 14 years ago. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I experienced severe palpitations that were the worst I've had, causing a choking sensation. I've had smaller episodes over the past two weeks. I'm 39 years old and currently taking dicyclomine and famotidine. Three weeks ago, I had steroid injections in my back. What could be causing these palpitations, and should I go to the emergency room?

I am trying to conceive and had sex around ovulation. A week later, I experienced light brown discharge for 4 days, which turned into more noticeable bleeding on the 5th day, 6 days before my period is due. The bleeding stopped after an hour. I tested negative for pregnancy, and the bleeding seems longer than typical implantation bleeding. What could be causing this bleeding, and should I be concerned?
