Newby - palpitations! :(

Posted , 5 users are following.

Hello! This looks like a really supportive forum, & just what I am looking for to try & make sense of this craziness I am going through. I am getting all the usual hot flushes etc (very grim). But it's the racing heart palpitations that are really getting me down. Please tell me I am not alone in this...

Thank you - Karen

    Good Morning Karen,

    You are not alone in the palpitations. They are a real treasure to be heaped onto the other little issues.

    Hi Karen

    No I get this frequently. Sometimes its for a few seconds but the palpitations are really strong. Other times its more of a flutter.  I'm new on here but I've discovered that I am not on my own.  there is lots of support. Hope this helps.

    Hi Karen 

    I can relate to this myself! Menopause Is a pain to say the least.

    I have more hot flushes in the evening.

    It drives me mad!

    One minute I'm taking my top off, next I'm putting it back on!

    I have fast heart beating at times.

    I get dizzy, double vision. It's a real inconvenience!

    It's not nice growing old, when I have to put up with all that.

    You feel like your a spring chicken!

    Or in your twenties!

    But then! Your body reminds you, your not!

    I hate it!.

    Anyway it's all part of the process.

    What can we do? Nothing!

    Except push aload of pills down me and hope for the best!

    I eat allsorts of healthy foods. Most of the time, I cook from fresh anyway. 

    There are lots if recipies online, that are good for you, to cook. 

    Anyway enough of my moaning Karen, 

    It's just part of everyday life. 

    😊

      Hi Elizabeth

      Thanks for your reply. Yes I too get dreadful dizziness. Really unpleasant, especially while you are working. I have started taking Sage, Starflower & Soya tablets (5 days in). So far no difference at all...but I live in hope. Don't really want to go down the HRT route at present

      In the office the other day it was like 'Menopause Corner' ha ha. None I f my colleagues have had the palpitations & dizziness though. Ho hum...

      Hi Karen.

      Thanks for your reply.

      I wouldn't personally bother with HRT myself, too much aggravation with worrying about the possible after affects of using it.

      I would rather fight through the years with good food and food supplements, if they help. Not one for hormone replacements x
