Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) has similar symptoms as that of menopause and it is common condition in women. The changing hormone levels and the low serotonin levels of the brain chemicals are considered as triggers for starting the premenstrual syndrome symptoms. The serotonin levels manage the mood and the emotions of the women and thus low level of them can create several symptoms in women.

The premenstrual syndrome symptoms triggered by the changing hormone levels are responsible for headaches and migraines. Along with these two symptoms you will also have backaches and tender breasts. You will have rapid weight gain due to water retention or due to overeating. You will feel bloated all throughout the day. But if serotonin levels trigger the premenstrual syndrome symptoms then you will have mood swings, aggressiveness in your behavior, increased irritability and short temperedness. Along with these symptoms, you will feel anxious and this will affect your sleep and you might become depressed also. In depression you will overeat and this will again lead to weight gain.
