Hello ladies

I'm new here and thank goodness I found this site as I've been going out of my mind and it's calmed me a down a little today.

I'm 46 and have been struggling with perimenopause symptoms for about a year. Over the past 3 months it's intensified to the point where I am constantly in a state of fight or flight and my heart rate is above 100 most of the time. It's just spiked to 150 just walking up the stairs. I've gone from running 5k everyday to not being able to walk around without feeling out of breath. I've just had a heart monitor and awaiting the results. EKG showed fast heart rate but normal rhythm.I literally feel like there must be something seriously wrong with me to feel like this constantly. MY Dr gave me HRT (estrogel and utrogestan) to try (which I did for 2 months) but it didn't help at all and I've stopped it to see if it was making me worse.

The palpitations/fast heart rate are just awful. I can't even seem to calm myself down or relax. Just feel wired!!

Please any advice would be greatfully received.
