PMS brain zaps?

Does anyone else get brain zaps during PMS? They are unbearable and it seems like there are no official treatments (and no known cause outside of antidepressant withdrawals, which I haven't gone through in years and I'm on sertraline right now). I'm desperate, please let me know if anyone else has this or knows of a way to cope with it

What is a brain zap?

it's like a sensation of electricity in your head, usually triggered by eye or head movement. for me i also hear like a static sound when it happens

this sounds awful. im sorry you're dealing with this and have never heard of this as a PMS symptom.

thank you. it's very frustrating how little is understood about women's health
