Can change in life styles or over excitement delay periods? i am 5 days late and my birthday is coming up soon which makes me very anxious.

Yes.: Significant changes in lifestyle, dieting, exercising, stressful situations such as death, moving to another area or just moving into another home, changes in jobs can delay your periods. Undoubtedly, if you anticipate a lot of happenings on your birthday, your period can be delayed.

If you are: sexually active, you could be pregnant. If not, then there is another explanation for your delayed period that is likely benign. If it hasn't started in a week, do a pregnancy test.
