Unusual: if you have regular periods, your hormones are likely fine if your thyroid tests are normal it is not that if you have not traveled to any exotic places, it is usually not a tropical illness a general exam and a few routine lab tests should be done by your doc

Some ideas: Without an actual examination, I cannot give specific medical advice on your particular health. Hormonal changes both expected (still some puberty changes occurring) and unexpected (thyroid, pregnancy, low grade inflammation like from a UTI, etc.) can be present to cause symptoms. BUT, most common (1 in 5 women !) is ..well.... twitchy vessels. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raynaud%27s_phenomenon
