- Physical PMS Symptoms
Not only does PMS affect the emotions, it also has a whole raft of physical symptoms. These physical symptoms, some of which are covered below, can be painful and all are uncomfortable. These physical symptoms are often accompanied by one or more emotional PMS symptoms.
- Bloating
- Bloating is one of the most common complaints from women with PMS. This is an uncomfortable condition that is often associated with Type H PMS, but can be helped with a managed diet.
- Food Cravings
- The crave for food is a symptom synonymous with Type C PMS, where the women feels a constant desire to eat. This can lead to weight gain, and consequently a lower self esteem and perhaps even depression.
- Cramps
- Cramps are perhaps one of the more painful physical symptoms of PMS. However, their severity can be managed by controlling your intake of caffeine and junk foods.
- Migraines
- Another uncomfortable and painful physical symptom, migraines are probably one of the most common PMS symptom. Again, they can be helped by managing your diet, exercising regularly and through the administration of over-the-counter painkillers.
- Insomnia
- Women with PMS often suffer from bouts of insomnia, which can drain you from energy and willpower. It can be helped by controlling what you eat, eradicating all junk foods from your diet and taking some regular exercise.
