Hi its me ....again 🙄 just wondered if anybody has suffered with a Jumpy and irregular heart beat since entering perimenopause ? I've had all checks and appointments with the cardiologist but they say it's possibly down to stress ? I'm on tablets to regulate the heartbeat but I sometimes still feel it flutter especially when a period ( they are getting further apart ) is due?

Would be really helpful to hear from any other lovely ladies going through the same xx

    Just saw your post. Thought I'd put my two cents worth in. I have noticed many new symptoms in the last year. Brain fog, light theadness, acid reflux, up and down emotions,digestion problems and yes, even heart palpitations. I have learned not to worry about any of these nuisances.. I just go with the flow. I hope my post has helped in some small way.

    Oh yes- the same thing happens to me every month. I thought I had heart problems, and saw the cardiologist but all the tests came back normal.

    I can now see that they are settling into a monthly pattern. From the week befor my period I get palpitations and internal jitters, then they stop as soon as I come on.

    My GP mentioned stress too- but if you ask me, the palps cause the stress and not vice versa!

      yes 100%, the palpitations cause the stress.  I get fed up with doctors telling me I suffer with stress and anxiety when I mention palps to them.  It is a symptom of this perimenopause/menopause, I never suffered with them or the dreaded STRESS before all this.  I wish they'd stop saying it !!

    I pray for the menopause to end one day we will be back to ourselves happy even if we are not hang on there girl you will be ok.
