My period is 3 days late, although I had all the premenstrual symptoms (cramps, pain, headache, backache, hunger, mood swings, etc). I'm very irritated, what can be the reason? It's not a pregnancy.

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
If you have been under a significant amount of stress lately, whether physical or psychological, this can easily alter the menstrual cycle and cause a few days delay. Worrying about it will further increase the stress. So try not to think too much about it since there's nothing to worry about - as long as you are healthy and you are certain that you're not pregnant. If your period still does not occur within a few days, then you should consult your physician - proper evaluation would then be required.
