Ongoing heart palpitations???
Posted , 17 users are following.
Hi ladies please can anyone reassure me? I have had mild heart palpitations for nearly 2 days now and am worrying myself to a frenzy.
It all started after a strong coffee yesterday morning (i dont usually drink strong coffee) and since then Ive had a flutter every few minutes or so???
I drank loads of water to flush out the caffeiene but after a nights sleep too its still there???
Is it peri symptoms?
No pain or anything else just a little skip now and again. Occasionally i get really hot after a flutter too so maybe its linked?
I am off for a female health check today (smear, breast exam and blood tests etc) so i will ask the doc about this but any advice from the wonderful ladies if this forum gratefully received.
Im sat in bed now just trying to talk some sense to myself so i dont panic which obviously eould make it worse... Thanks to everyone for any help you can offer xxxxx

Hi all.
Newbie here.
Been having skips now for 11 years just after i had my son, having about 20 a day.
So scary so went docs they put me on Propranolol and had 24 hour monitor and was all ok, ectopic beats. last 2 years ive stopped my periods and they subsided slightly about 10 a month but now back for last 2 months every day and so debilitating. spoke to doc and now trying HRT patches to see if helps ad hoping it's hormonal as levels where out on blood test but everything else was fine.
Anyone else feel like or been through it please? xx

i am new to this forum and while i don't love the phrase misery loves company (really don't want others to suffer), reading your comments does provide real life insight. I started to get palpitations and close to a year ago. My heart would race for no reason...I could be making dinner and then all of the sudden it would go to 120 and my head would get really fuzzy. Super scary! I had all the heart checks and have passed them all. After seeing 3 cardiologists i was referred to one in the practice who specializes in women's issues. She prescribed sertaline and it caused a huge reduction in the heart racing but got me fat (fatter). I am already overweight but knew something was up when i was gaining weight while restricting carbs and intermittent fasting. i just got switched to Wellbutrin so we will see what happens w my weight. At this point i still have the heart racing but not nearly as often or as high. when it happens my head gets fuzzy. Has anybody else experienced this? Its hard to explain the feeling but it is very uncomfortable. Other issues i have are itchy skin, face gets red easily (hard to find the right cleanser these days) and i am hot a lot. I welcome your comments. Today is National Women's Day so cheers to all of you beautiful ladies!

I was having the same issue, was intermittent fasting and watching my meals and exercising, but the weight didn't come off, also having so many stomach issues is something I'm now dealing with.

Hey Weezie,
I, too, had the heart palpitations throughout my menopausal journeys, and yes, they were absolutely horrific, to say the least. That being said, they came from out of nowhere, and then just left. Suffice it to say, I can ATTEST to the majority of the symptoms doing that same thing; they come and they go. Just to ease your mind, they are hormonal-related. Our hormones are VERY imbalanced during the three meno journeys. Be well, my menopausal sistah!
