It's premenstrual syndrome.
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a condition that affects a woman’s emotions, physical health, and behavior during certain days of the menstrual cycle, generally just before her menses.
Levels of estrogen and progesterone increase during certain times of the month. An increase in these hormones can cause mood swings, anxiety, and irritability.
Serotonin levels affect mood. Serotonin is a chemical in your brain and gut that affects your moods, emotions, and thoughts.
Next Steps
If you have a mild or moderate form of premenstrual syndrome, the treatment options include:
drinking plenty of fluids to ease abdominal bloating
eating a balanced diet to improve your overall health and energy level, which means eating plenty of fruits and vegetables and reducing your intake of sugar, salt, caffeine, and alcohol
taking supplements, such as folic acid, vitamin B-6, calcium, and magnesium to reduce cramps and mood swings
taking vitamin D to reduce symptoms
sleeping at least eight hours per night to reduce fatigue
exercising to decrease bloating and improve your mental health
reducing stress, such as through exercising and reading
