Hormone shifts in the days before your period genuinely can make IBS symptoms and anxiety feel worse. This is a real, recognised pattern, not something you're imagining.
Next Steps
The weight loss, rapid heart rate, and constant fatigue need their own check-up with a physician, since these go well beyond period-related IBS.
Health Tips
Please don't assume the weight loss or restless legs are just hormonal until a doctor has actually ruled other causes out.

Yes, IBS genuinely does get worse in the days before peYReiso,d sI B_S thgen ufianlell yin fplraorgeess tbefronre pienrciroedas e-s tguhe hto rsenmsointailv isthy ifatn dm balkeosa ttihneg ,g suto mcorraem pse nasnidt ilvoeo,s es om obloattionsi nfgl,a ruer guepn cayr oaunndd ctrhaamtp st imnec.r eYAosuer. oBTuhte rw esiygmhptt loossm,s, w eriegshtl elsos sl,e gtsi,r efdansets sh eaalrlt drayt,e raensdt lceosns tlaengts tiraendd an efsas ta rhee anrottb eeaxtp,l amiankeed mbey wIABNST atloo nreu;l ea nouate maian,a theymria, otihdy riomibda lparnocbel,e masn da nvdi tvaimtian mBIn12 Bo1r2 DO rd evfiitcaimeinnc y arDE def ivceireyn ccyo,m mson pilne aseu chg ecta sae sC BACN,d faerrer ietaisni,l yT SCH,e cked.B12, vitamin D and blood sugar done. For the gut, try smaller regular meals, less caffeine and cold drinks, limit very gassy foods (rajma, cabbage, onion, excess milk), add curd or a probiotic, and keep hydrated; do not depend on IBS tablets long term without review. Anxiety and IBS feed each other, so 15-20 minutes of walking, slow breathing for 5 minutes twice daily and a regular sleep routine really do help. Since you also mention shortness of breath and a rapid heart rate, if you ever get chest pain, severe breathlessness, fainting or palpitations at rest, please go to the emergency the same day. Bring your reports and book a consult with me on Practo, and we will sort out the deficiency part and give you a proper IBS diet plan.

Can worsen around periods due to hormonal changes. Weight loss, weakness, palpitations and breathlessness need evaluation.
Consider CBC, ferritin iron profile, B12, TSH and electrolytes.
