I'm only 27. Do I need hormone therapy?

Obviously, this is a question for a DR...I just can't get in right now and I want some pointers. here are some things that I'm experiencing. I don't know if these are relavent. I just noticed that In the last 6mnths-1yr I've started to experience a lot of different issues. What do you think?

I'm 27 yrs old

I'm having Back acne...it's a problem I've never had. Now I'm getting scars.

I'm having bad flares of rosacea. So Inflammed that I'm getting a terrible breakout...that seems to flare up in the weeks before my period. My skin looks it's clearest during my period...then I'm cool for a week...and the break out builds up again. ALWAYS only on the same Single cheek btw. I'm getting scaring.

I've noticed that my period usually lasts 4-5 days. Now it only last 2 days. But it's very heavy. This has been going for months. It's like I'm getting the whole 5 days of work out in 2. Also...during it I get in these fever sweats while I'm sleeping. I wake up drenched.

I really haven't been sleeping well. When I let go and start to dift off...I wake up with my heart racing and I feel scared....for no specific reason. It's like an adrenaline rush.

I have mood swings. Not the crying kind. The angry kind. I'll get really angry out of no where. It passes quickly. But I just feel enraged. It's like I'm on roids. Maybe my projesterone is up?

I really have not changed anything in my routine. It's not like I'm working out excessively or anything. I'm in good shape. I DO not take Birth Control...because it used to make me completely wacko no matter what form or strenght I took. Haven't changed eating. I'm slightly less active then I used to be but I can't believe it would cause such a difference.

What details will be significant to my doctor? What could this mean? Someone told me I could have a blood test to see about my hormone levels because I may need hormone therapy. I'm really worried about playing around with birth control. In the past, I've used the ring, the patch, ortho high, ortho low, also one of those that boasts low hormones (only 2 instead of 3 or something). None of it works. The oral kind makes me so sick...doesnt matter what is is. The patch was making me wake up with leg cramps...and the ring gave me yeast. I hope Birth Control isn't the only recommendation I can get from a doctor.
