I'm going to see a gynecologist next week because I suspect I might have PCOS. Before that, I want to know, generally, what does PCOS feel like? Are there common sensations or symptoms?

People online will tell you hundred different symptoms, but everyone's experience is completely different. Don't start taking random herbal powders or following internet diets blindly. Go to a reputed gynecologist, get your blood tests and scan done, and let the doctor tell you what is actually going on.
It feels like constant exhaustion, brain fog during meetings, and struggling to manage sudden weight shifts. With a hectic job, it is hard, but prioritizing 7 hours of sleep and packing home-cooked meals is the only way to manage it. Don't stress over complicated routines, just stick to the basics.
It can feel very overwhelming and lonely sometimes when your body is not cooperating. Just want to say that please don't be too hard on yourself, it is very common and completely manageable with time.
Look, it is basically a lifestyle disorder that makes you feel lazy, bloated, and gives you mood swings. Sitting and worrying won't help; you have to fix your sleep timing and stop eating junk daily. Go see a good doctor first, get the reports, and then work on your daily habits honestly.
In our days we didn't have these terms, but girls used to have similar issues with irregular cycles and weakness. Drinking light spearmint tea or chewing a few soaked fenugreek seeds in the morning can soothe the stomach. But beta, you must also visit a doctor to ensure your health is on track.

Totally agree with others, the fatigue and heavy bloating are the hardest parts. Drinking warm water throughout the day helped me a lot with the constant bloated feeling.
At my age, it feels like my body is playing a guessing game with my hormones every single month. One day I have the energy of a teenager, and the next day I feel like a 90-year-old battery at 1% charge. It's frustrating but you just have to laugh it off and take your supplements on time.
