Headache. Headaches are a common symptom of PMS and each woman experiences headaches differently. Some women find their headache is dull and throbbing and it’s easily treated with over-the-counter medication. It might be exacerbated by drinking alcohol, by eating too much sugar, or even by sleeping too little at night. Those who suffer from severe PMS might suffer from more serious headaches and/or migraines. These are debilitating headaches that leave women unable to function. Migraines are unbearable and medication doesn’t always help. Sleep and a dark room are sometimes the only things that help a migraine, which can last anywhere from a few hours to a few days.
