Hi Beverly, Yes, I am 41 and went through extensive testing last year(dad died young of heart attack)My night palps and chest pains were GERD. Once I controlled that, they calmed down. A cardiologist (last name Gupta, York cardiology) has a bunch of info on heart palps on you tube. Always bring heart stuff up with your dr to be sure!

My first foray into this perimenopause craziness was with heart palpitations. I was travelling for work, alone in a hotel room, when I was woken up in the wee hours of the morning with my heart skipping beats. I was terrified, esp since I have high blood pressure! Luckily, I have an amazing doctor who I got in touch with as soon as her office opened. At first, we thought it was due to some inhalers I was using for my seasonal allergies, but even cutting back on those didn't help. I was in a training class for a week, so basically sitting at a computer all day, every day, and could feel the palpitations during the day, but they were worse at night. When I got home and they didn't get any better, my doctor sent me for an electrocaridogram, since the skipped beats were being picked up by EKG. Nothing wrong with my heart, so I ended up taking Ativan (lorazepam) as needed to keep the anxiety the palpitations were causing me at bay and to help me sleep. Eventually (a month or 2, maybe? hard to remember now) they dissipated and I only get them rarely now. Typically a day or so before I get my period and typically in the middle of the night. They are still uncomfortable but I don't freak out that I'm going to have a heart attack anymore, since I know my heart is structurally sound.

hi Bev yes this has jjst recently started for me along with high blood pressure and elevated heart rate. im 46 amd still get a regular period amd this is all making my anxiety worse so my cardiologist started me on a blood pressure pill that is a beta blocker to keep my heart rate down. 2 days on the pill and it seems to be working great. good luck to you, hope everything works out well

I know this post is late, My blood pressure has also went up to the normal at 120/80 TO THE HIGH 150's even as high as 180'S I FINALLY GOT IT DOWN ON MY OWN ALITTLE, With Bio identical hormones through my natural path, I was original dead set against, But didnt want to have a heart attack,, Thank u for this good information because i have to wear a monitor on wednesday for two days, AND I AM WORRIED.... I also have hashimotos thyroid and doc put me on a new med and i swear it is to much and she tells me it is perfect, WHICH CAN ALSO CAUSE ALL THIS, So it is a big mess, was on nature thyroid for years, SHE SAID THIS WOULD BE BETTER, ok really she probably makes money on the prescription, all with the cost of me, if you are still around i had an ekg and it was slightly abnormal, did u have one???
