How many of you guys get PMS or PMDD (really bad PMS)? Cause during my last 3 cycles I've been getting increasingly worse and I'd like to know if my symptoms are just regular PMS or I should go see a doctor.

Getting worse how?

I used to just get hot flushes and extreme dips in my depression and anxiety about 2 weeks before my period, than during it I'd get light cramps and afterwards I'd feel pretty fantastic then back to normal. Recently my hot flushes have turned into weird fainting episodes, so this morning I got up and fell over and couldn't walk properly cause my stomach would freak out and my head couldn't focus on anything. It feels more like a constant fever. I get way sadder than I used to, usually I could deal with that dip because I knew what caused it but now I'm trying to reason with myself but I just end crying and calling myself horrible things. And of course I'm tired all the time but I can handle that.

Based off of fainting alone, I'd probably talk to a doctor and tell them what happens.

Yeah I get massive cramps and can’t do much but if it results in fainting talking to a doctor is the best option

I would definitely be going to a doctor. While it's not unheard of for women to faint from their cycles, it is still not a good thing. You could easily hurt yourself, and the fever is concerning.

It could be an imbalance in hormones or vitamins, or perhaps any prescription you're on needs to be adjusted. Or there could be an underlying issue. But whatever the case I think you need a doctor involved to make sure

I'm not sure if this will help at all:
