Online published on 21 November, 2019. Abstract Premenstrual syndrome is a set of physical, behavioural or emotional symptoms that some women experience on regular basis in relation to menstruation. Premenstrual symptoms have been associated with perceived stress, and perceived stress is the strongest predictor of premenstrual syndrome. The present study attempted to find a relationship between various cardiovascular and neurological parameters and stress in working and non working women. The study observed significant changes between the pulse and blood pressure and reaction time in the study population, while observing higher perceived stress in the working women.
