摘要
OBJECTIVE(S): To study the effect of premenstrual stress on cardiovascular and central nervous system. METHOD(S): Effect of premenstrual stress on cardiovascular system i.e. pulse rate, blood pressure and weight, and on central nervous system i.e. visual and auditory reaction time, was studied on 60 healthy female students between the age of 17 and 20 years during premenstrual and postmenstrual phase. RESULTS: There was significant increase in pulse rate, blood pressure, weight, auditory reaction time (ART), and visual reaction time (VRT) during premenstrual period as compared to postmenstrual period. CONCLUSION(S): These changes could be attributed to fluid and salt retention due to ovarian steroids and to exaggerated response to hormonal changes leading to decrease in the processing capability of central nervous system.
