The hormones that peak just before your period can cause some really strange symptoms.
— we're talking chills, body aches, a stuffy nose, even nausea and diarrhea — you're not alone, and there's science to explain why. It all comes down to hormones called prostaglandins, which peak just before your period and trigger the cramping that helps your uterus expel its lining.
The problem is, prostaglandins also cause inflammation, and"there are some studies that suggest they modulate a histamine release from cells,", MD, an ob-gyn with UCLA Health, told POPSUGAR. If histamine sounds familiar, it's because it's the same chemical that causes seasonal allergy symptoms. It's possible then for your impending period to mimic a cold or other illness.
