Anyone can feel they heart pounding at night when trying to sleep..I could hear thumping when I'm on my left side when I turn on my right I can't hear that much. ..it's scary sometimes I think the worst I had a ECG last year was fine, anything sometimes tips off like cleaning or running up the stairs walking and so forth.

    Hi, Maria,

    Yes!  You are describing exactly what I’ve had for the last few days. I hear a ticking in my right ear when I’m trying to go to sleep.  I’m sure it’s hormone related. It seems to coincide with hormone fluctuations I can feel.  I’ve had many tests over the last year because of this and many other symptoms and everything points to perimenopause.  It’s very frustrating.

      HI Sarah,  I get that ticking in my ears it use to be worst when I first started peri menopause, it goes away for a long time and come back, you would think you had clock ticking down there our Tinitus, I had all sorts from time time from fluttering to something want to block it for a few seconds I try not to run to the Dr's with everything that I experience but any pain in them or any where that cause for concern I will tell them, hope it disappears for us soon HUGS.

    I have this quite often, I notice it's worse right before or right after my period. It used to scare me out of my mind but after being checked for everything under the sun I know it's hormonal and I can deal with it a little better when it happens.

    I used to. But it went away. Just one day I noticed it wasn't happening anymore.

      Yes, I'm post menopausal. I had my last period November 2010. I had no symptoms until 2014. Heart pounding in ears was a early symptom.

    Maria,

    Thank you for the reply.  I know we'll get through this.  Hopefully we'll be all be stronger from enduring these bizarre symptoms!  Hugs--Sarah
