32 y/o Irregular Periods, Twitching, Head Pressure, Tinnitus etc. Could I be in peri?

Hi everyone

I'm 32 years old and i came off the Depo Provera injection around September 2021 . My period came back around December and all was fine up until May 2022 . My periods became irregular, and they can last anywhere between 10-14 days, light-med flow. I tend to get a period every 1.5 - 2 months. Symptoms that appear/worsen on the lead up to, and during period include:

Tinnitus in right ear (sometimes high pitched but mostly buzzy/static/pulsatile.

Muscle twitches from head to toe

Occasional internal shaking sensation

Bloating

Acne

Mood swings/anger

Sometimes i can feel my pulse throughout my body, and particularly at the base of skull/back of neck when lying down

Anxiety, especially health related

Head pressure upon standing - feels like a balloon is being blown up inside my head for around 5 secs

Hair thinning

I have had bloods done to check thyroid/diabetes etc, all normal.

I am on B12 injections as B12 was borderline low, iron tablets for low ferritin.

GP said irregular periods are normal after coming off Depo Provera and it sounds like i have PMT? I was prescribed anti depressants.

Is it possible i could be in peri? I have no idea what is causing these symptoms and i don't know what to do next Anti-depressants will allegedly cure me Any advice is appreciated, thank you.
