Without a doubt stress and anxiety can cause your period to show up early. Some don't realize the affect stress and anxiety has on the body; a lot of people think its only mental. But I hope you can ease a little knowing that there is nothing wrong in regards your period showing up early. I hope and pray that your anxiety gets at least some relief soon.

I am so sorry to hear about the issues you have been having. I know from personal experience how bad acid reflux can be. Fortunately, there are different types of medicines to try, so hopefully they can find the right one for you. I don't know which they gave you, but there are others you can get over the counter. Maybe you can give other ones a try to find the one that works best for you.

Research shows stress affects the part of the brain responsible for the release of hormones that control your cycle. If you can reduce the stress, you should return to normal.

I am not usually one to recommend Dr Google but a search for "period stress" has good sensible information.

If you are seeing a health professional be sure to mention this. The topic might be a touch embarrassing but it's important to mention the affects on your body and mind.
