You can see your doctor and discuss your symptoms. There are effective treatments for your symptoms-sometimes birth control pills can help with these symptoms, for example. So, see your GP or your gyn doctor for diagnosis and treatment! Good luck to you!

Agree with Dr. Ferranti: Your doctor can prescribe pills to limit your period to once a year. In the meantime, start exercising. Begin with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity so that you sweat profusely. It may take a few months for the full effect. Wish you good health!

Some of my patients with this type of premenstrual syndrome have been helped by taking a mild diuretic several days or a week before their period. I'm of the opinion that a degree of fluid retention caused by hormonal changes affects the brain resulting in varied emotional reactions.
