Question : For the past few days I've been crazy thirsty, and I've been gassy, burping mostly, I have been having very weird mood swings like being sad and crying out of no where, I don't know what's wrong with me.

I've been having diarrhea as well, but that started about this morning.

I've been breaking out too, I keep thinking my period is coming (in case you didn't know, I'm a woman), but it was supposed to start sometime last week. Could it be possible for what I'm thinking?

Brief Answer:
You seems to be suffering from anxiety.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone very carefully through all the details that you have provided. I understand your concerns. If you feel that your periods are about to come, and if you are guessing it right, you can rest assured that you are not pregnant. It is possible that you have been anxious as your periods have been delayed. This anxiety could lead to the symptoms you have mentioned. You could also be having some electrolyte imbalance and I would suggest you to take plenty of water and fluids including ORS (oral rehydration solution) to drink. Taking alprazolam 0.25 mg half a tablet twice daily should be helpful in reducing the anxiety but it is a prescription medicine and you would need to visit a doctor to get it written. In such a scenario he would be also able to suggest you other medicines to take care of your symptoms.

Hope that helps.

Regards
