Hello @Helen1
Welcome to the forums from myself 🙂
I can definitely say that I experience pms a few days before the cycle and this has happened since I was 13, usually it comes out of nowhere and I don't know why I feel the way I do until my cycle begins, but I find I get irritated quite easily and very sensitive to anything negative, I also eat more and feel bloated in my body.
I don't think you need to go to a gp as it is quite normal to go through this, but it might help you to understand the impact of hormones more to chat to them about your concerns?
