Heart palpitations related with premenopause ?

My blood pressure is normal like a baby and i just got released form the ER everything check out normal  . I’m puzzle I though i was gonna die. This is the second time. 

My bp is always very low. But heart rate would be high. 

How are you feeling?

Had good day yesterday and morning woke up wvracing heart beat but BP is normal . I suppose to have my period yesterday but not yet. I’m scare my ansiety doesn’t help

I do have a small hiata hernia and I take plotonics . They send me home everything check out fine . I was still felling racing heart. It as high as 133 while sleeping. This is scary . 

Aimee,

Once your stomache heals, the hiatus hernia will stop blowing out against your vagus nerve, happened to me. You may be estrogen dominant or low on cortisol, which makes your stomache and digestion sensitive. I am taking natural pregnenolone and dim plus, the scary palpitations and chest discomfort and belching/gas has gone away . .

I"m very interested in DIM.   I've been doing a lot of research on this!  How effective has it been for you?  Have you tried more than one brand or happy with the one you've found?  Thanks ever so much.   Anything to find that hormonal balance!   We are the sisterhood of the traveling pause.

Hi Danielle,

Question about DIM - I've been doing quite a bit of research and would love to know your experience with it.   Anything to find that hormonal balance!   It sounds like it might be one part of the solution!

Hi tesslacoil,

Dim plus by Nature's Way is/has been the only brand I have used. It works great for balancing out estrogen and taken regularly; it prevents hot flashes and helps with sleeplessness and one's outlook-"happiness". 1 bottle of Dim plus is $20 on swanson[/b].com[/b] Costs like 30+ at my local vitamin shoppe. It is also very good for you. So, if you are in peri-menopause and feel strange . . Go for it and enjoy!!! Danielle. PS-Sorry for the wait of my reply. Wish you the best.

Going through same things as you are. All started with perimenopause about a year and a half ago. Also at the same time i was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism so my hormones are all over the place!! I take 400mg ofMagnesium Glycinate per day (guy at health food store told me it was the one that was most easily absorbed by the body and would not cause stomach problems) so far so good!!  I am also on a low dose of Paxil (antidepressant/anxiety med) and that helps a lot too. Palpitations have decreased a lot. Hope you get to feeling better.... the women on this site are AMAZING they are always here to help and make you feel like you are not alone on this insane journey

It is Insane I couldn’t even go to work.  My tyroid is good so far .  I’m gonna find the magnesium and get it. I took Ativan yesterday is better I did 30 min slow exercise . I appreciate kind words and encouragement and I’m not alone i will post the results on the holter in a week.  

I used to take Ativan for the anxious times, too.  Lorazepam/Ativan belongs to a group of medicines called the benzodiazepines. It works by acting on receptors in the brain called GABA receptors. This causes a neurotransmitter called GABA to be released in the brain. Upon finding this, I decided to try something else to release the GABA.   So, I just take GABA pills under the tongue if I'm stressed.  Or I use Passionflower, which calms me right down.   Just thoughts.   We are all in this together and this forum is a Godsend!  *****hugs******

Last night start it again palpitations fast HR 125 sitting still my blood pressure is normal.  Ativan didn’t work .  With this palpitations I have sorry to say is like diarrea , restless, I’m just worry about my heart . Why is this happening 

It's grim isn't it. The reason it happens is because as estrogen and progesterone slowly decline, the hormones cortisol and adrenalin kick in to compensate. This increase in adrenalin causes us to be jittery, on edge, and it makes our heart race madly. 

I haven't read all of this thread so apologies if I'm repeating something that someone else has suggested - but a beta blocker will definitely help with this. They're non addictive, taken on an "as and when basis", and slow the racing heart right down. Deep breathing helps too - I used to scowl at people who said that to me but it's actually true! Happy New Year - may 2018 be the year that peri p's right off for everyone 😂

lou4747 is right on about the hormone balancing in the body that happens.   When that "fight or flight" kicks in, the body compensates.    During a "fight or flight" response, all of those reactions you described are normal.   The desire to go to the bathroom (or having diarrhea), being restless (to say the least) .. when it happens to me, my feet and hands get all clammy and a cold sweat breaks out.   I've learned, though, that I'm not going to die (biggest fear there of course) and to ride it out.  Lou4747 mentioned deep, measured breathing - that really DOES help.   It tells the vagus nerve to activate the OTHER response (calm) and can go a long way to slow your heart down and get you back to normal.   This is all said, of course, without knowing your history or if you've been to doctors prior and had your heart checked and come out clean (common story on this forum).   Thank God above for this forum because, wow, without it, I'd think I was right cuckoo.     As we learn to identify and manage, it does get mentally better.   As I'm going through it now, I keep in mind that this will subside in the future <3  

Thanks so much . I have to get my doctor on board first . I mean I haven’t die yet and I have all Thos palpitations , skipping beats ,jitters , mild pain feel not myself .  They did on Wednesday tipoid 1cardiac blood work, magnesium test was normal, 2 ekgs normal ,  I got my heart monitor for 14 days and I didn’t have this while on it.  CBC w dif all normal and they have to let me go .  I have an appointment Tuesday and the 12 hopefully this new PA can help me.
