I am 33 years old. I have recently been experiencing the following symptoms especially before and during my period -
fatigue, headaches, mood swings, depression, hair loss, anxeity attacks, irritability to the point where I have to call in sick for work, foggy thinking, trouble remembering things, and heavy bleeding. What should I do?

This does not sound like pre menopause but does sound like a menstrual disorder. You should see a gynecologist.

Have your thyroid checked. I had the same symptoms you describe and it turned out to be my thyroid was low. I'm taking thyroid replacement hormone now and there's a big difference.
