Peri symptoms worsening in relation to periods/menstrual cycle?

Has anyone else noticed a worsening or amplification of their peri symptoms -- in my case, headaches, tinnitus, "head pressure", joint/muscle aches -- in relation to their periods? I feel like I can see a vague correlation between the two -- the discomforts seem worse during and right after my periods -- but am wondering if I'm imagining it...

    That makes sense as your estrogen levels are at their lowest when you have your period. I always get headaches at this point in my cycle and think that's common...

    Hi Cat, this is what happens to me. I always feel worse just before my periods (right now) and the first couple of days of my cycle. We are not imagining things 😃
