Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) also known as premenstrual tension (PMT), is a mixture of physical and emotional symptoms that some women experience in the days, or sometimes weeks, leading up to their menstrual period.
About PMS
Symptoms of PMS can start up to two weeks before each period and usually stop when the period starts.
PMS is more common in women over the age of 30 years and tends to stop with the menopause. PMS also stops in women who have an operation to remove both their ovaries.
Nearly all women have some PMS symptoms. However, only around 1 in 20 women have symptoms that seriously interfere with their quality of life.
Symptoms
A long list of symptoms have been attributed to PMS. Some of the more common ones are:
* headache
* feeling bloated
* weight gain
* breast tenderness
* back or lower abdominal pain
* irritability or aggression
* depression and anxiety
* mood swings
* tiredness
* poor concentration
A more severe form of PMS is called premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), in which the emotional symptoms, such as depression, mood swings, anxiety and tension, are particularly serious. It occurs in only a small percentage of women with PMS.

It is PMT Pre Menstrual Tension.. It is not a joke many women suffer from this, it seems to be the butt of many a Males joke.
Make sure you are taking a Multivitamin tablet. Eat healthy, avoid alcohol. Salt is something you should cut down on as it makes you retain water which leads to bloating. Take up Yoga, deep breathing exercises. If at all worried, go to your GP

Premenstrual Syndrome: PMS is a disorder characterized by a set of hormonal changes that trigger disruptive symptoms in a significant number of women for up to two weeks prior to menstruation. Of the estimated 40 million suffers, more than 5 million require medical treatment for marked mood and behavioral changes. Often symptoms tend to taper off with menstruation and women remain symptom-free until the two weeks or so prior to the next menstrual period. These regularly recurring symptoms from ovulation until menses typify PMS, premenstrual syndrome.
