I know this has been discussed before. I am 46 and am in post menopause at least thats what the blood test reavealed in December. 

I am getting tired of having palpitations at night, durring the day and when lying down. I just want them to go away. How long will these palpitations keep going on and will they ever stop. I have talked to my doctor about the biodentical progesterone pill made by the compound pharmacy, because when your progeterone is low that can cause palpitations. 

How long have you ladies suffered from palpitations.

    Hi Susan,

    There are a lot of things that can cause palpitations. Did your doctor go over your symptoms and run a few test to see if the progesterone pill is what you need to take right now?

    While it works great for me for other issues, my doctor is monitoring my progress during this whole "wonderful" time. I hope that your doctor is as well for you.

    Progesterone does have a very sedating quality if you need it, that's why I take mine at bedtime. It really does put you to sleep, if that might be an issue for you as well. It does help with other issues so by all means, follow your doctor's advice to get yourself feeling better soon.

      Yes, it has been known to do so in some people. In fact, it's a subtle change but I went from the cream which also works well to the pill form and I am a bit more relaxed now that I think back about it.  I was pretty jumpy for a good part of beginning of last year and since adding the progesterone, especially lately, I am more even keel. Talk to your doctor and see if this might benefit you.
