The wild ride caused by hormones can vary greatly from one person to another. Some people experience period flu symptoms in the days just before their period that are part of what’s called premenstrual syndrome (PMS) but others feel throughout their period and can included

nausea

headache

dizziness

diarrhea

constipation

fatigue

muscle aches

cramps

fever or chills

Experts aren’t totally sure about what causes this phenomenon, but hormone fluctuations throughout your menstrual cycle are the most likely culprit
 Prostaglandins, which are hormone-like fatty acids, are produced before the period to help your uterus shed its lining so excess prostaglandin make their way into your bloodstream, which can cause a whole bunch of period symptoms
Cyclic changes in sex hormones, mainly estrogen, can also cause you to feel run down, along with other symptoms like cramps, breast tenderness, and mood swings
Chemical changes in your brain such as fluctuations in serotonin and other chemicals related to mood states, may also trigger some PMS symptoms and these include fatigue, sleep problems, food cravings, and depression

Here are some things you can do to ease your symptoms

 Take an over-the-counter (OTC) pain medication such as ibuprofen (Advil), can ease muscle aches, cramps, headaches and breast pain
Taking an anti-inflammatory before your period starts may lessen pain and bleeding

Use a heating pada

Stay hydrated

Prevention

Exercise regularly

Eat healthy foods
Cut back on your alcohol, sugar, salt, and caffeine intake
Quit smoking

Get enough sleep

Get more calcium
