    Happy Birthday Karen!!! 🎂🎈🎈🍷🍷

    Hope you have a lovely day and can just try and live along side the horrible peri symptoms for a while

    The symptoms you describe are typical peri symptoms I get them regularly throughout the day and even during the night, scary when it happens

    Everytime I've had a bad day I promise myself the next time a weird symptom comes up I won't panic but I always do lol

    Hopefully things will balance out for us soon Karen

    All the best to you and do something nice today...enjoy

    Brenda x

    Happy Birthday!! Besides the symptoms I hope you are having a marvelous day. Hot flushes and palps, and rapid heartbeat are very common. I get the flutters and racing heart a lot especially around my cycle time. Hopefully you get relief soon.

    Are you post now?

    I had it more often and for longer post. It always started with an odd fluttering sensation first.

    Happy birthday Karen x. I've had terrible palpitations and a rapid heart beat. Everytime I try to tell myself to be calm but it freaks me out somedays. It generally is worse at night for me too. And a lot of the time, mine are almost timed in minutes as well. I've not flushed properly for a while but my face used to get hot and they do seem to be linked sometimes. I'm wondering if the Red Clover I take stops the flushing. Fingers crossed my banana intake and Starflower Oil will keep the palpitations at bay.

    Sometimes I get this nervous jittery feeling that can be followed by some frightening flutterings too and my breathing seems affected somehow. I hope we can get some relief from this somehow.

      Yes BugglyBot,

      As if it kind of makes you catch your breath each time.

      Absolutely Zigangie. It can be very frightening. Knowing you're not on your own does help.

    Happy birthday! I have had palpitations for last couple of years....I am 48 and would notice them whenever I was resting esp at night...never when I was active. My heart would feel fluttery and would skip a beat. I had an ecg which was fine. I was speaking to a naturopath and she said I may be low in magnesium and potassium. As I live in Qld Australia it gets very humid and I do sweat a lot especially now in peri. I started magnesium supps and if I sweated a lot at work I would drink a powdered staminade sports drink. I spoke to my chemist and he said if you sweat a lot and drink a lot of water you can deplete these minerals. He said it would take a fortnight to feel a difference. Well it took 10 days and it def helped. They went away completely. I still get palps when run down and fatigued and I havent taken magnesium....but maybe worth a try...it helps in peri for many things as well. I do know this is a side effect if peri and it can be from adrenal gland surges. Maybe best to get a check at docs to put your mind at rest as well. Good luck smile
