Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
These symptoms can be due to hormonal changes and can be due to premenstrual syndrome.
You should check your blood pressure and sugar level, if that is normal it is most likely due to hormonal changes.
You should take healthy and nutritious diet,fresh fruits and vegetables, some yoga and meditation, some exercise, low fat and carbohydrate and high protein diet,drink a lot of water to maintain your weight.

Thanks Doctor for the answer. My blood pressure is usually between 90 and 105 (the top number).

Are there any vitamins which I can take to avoid premenstrual syndrome .. other than just maintaining the healthy diet.

Thanks

You can take salt restricted diet.
You can take multivitamin which contains folic acid.
You can take iron and calcium.
These symptoms are mainly due to hormonal changes, so there is no role of multivitamins.
