Some folks, including those with bothersome PMS symptoms or PMDD may feel less drained with a serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), even with a short two-week monthly course, Dr. Eblen adds.[16] [17] Bottom line: You've likely been told forever that it's normal to intensely suffer during your period-and I'm here to tell you that, no, it is not. Exercise-like yoga, walking, swimming, and dancing-increases your heart rate and releases endorphins, which might make you feel a little better and more energized when PMS hits, according to Dr. Eblen.[14] [15] Finally, if you "feel crappy, just give yourself a break", Dr. Eblen says-ya know, take it easy and truly rest for a couple of days, and let your body do its thing. Your period can disrupt your sleep too-especially if your flow is on the heavier side and/or you've got particularly awful cramps, Dr. Eblen says.[7] (Good to know I'm not the only one who bolts awake with pain shooting across my lower abdomen at 3 a.m.) Basically, all of the emotional and physical turmoil that goes down during this hellish week or so can make you toss and turn, she adds.
