Question 3

Accepted Answer

Damp Cramps: Cold sweats during any painful experience are part of the nervous system response to the pain.  In addition to sweating you can often see rapid breathing and increased heart rate.  There are also changes in other muscular functions such as that seen with the intestines.  The degree of inflammatory response to your hormonal changes during your period are what determine the intensity of discomfort.

Not related: Washing or not washing hair, and drying or not drying hair, does not cause the body aches and other mentioned symptoms. However, if wet hair makes a woman not sleep well, or if it makes her sleep in a strange head/neck position, she could be tired and moody by morning. If bothersome symptoms persist, a primary care doctor can evaluate to see if there is a problem.
