Hi, i used to have really bad palpitations for many years. i found when i changed my diet, cut out sugar and UPF they pretty much disappeared. im in perimenopause now and hardly get them at all. Not sure how your diet is but could he worth a try. i used to panic about them which would make them worse, also got the feeling in my head. once i had an ecg and was all checked out and nothing was wrong i didnt panic as much. hope that helps.!

I'm 50 years old and my life has completely changed since 5 months, one night I was sleeping as if an electric current went straight into my body And then my whole body became exhausted and my heart beat very fast. I thought I was going to die and didn't know what happened because for a long time I had never thought about what perimenopause was. I didn't have my period for 5 months and then it came back 2 times but until now. Now it's been 3 months without it. After the terrible night, I had to go to the emergency room because my heart was beating fast, I had difficulty breathing, and I was exhausted every day. After testing, everything was normal, but I was very afraid and didn't know if they were missing anything. At that time, my family doctor transferred me to a gynecologist. During the 1-month waiting period for my appointment, I had to fight every day with a body that no longer had enough energy, I was depressed and exhausted. cry every day, have insomnia at night, every time I have hot flashes my heart beats faster than normal and feel like my blood pressure has dropped, every morning I wake up with no energy in my body, headaches, dizziness , I don't have enough strength to do anything, I'm exhausted and have no energy to take myself out, I don't want to see anyone and want to talk to anyone, finally the day of the appointment with the doctor The doctor also came, I cried a lot to her and begged her to save me. After I had my blood drawn and everything tested, she finally gave me the results: I was in the stage of death. I was in perimenopause and my hormones were too low, I sat there and cried a lot, I felt like I was dying every day with a weak body and no energy left, in the end I was treated with the lowest dose of HRT for 3 months. She said that if I was still not feeling well within three months, she would then increase the dose to a higher dose. Currently, I have been using HRT since January 26, but until now Now I still don't see the results. My family doctor gave me more antidepressants and tranquilizers to help me feel more stable, but I don't dare to take it. I really want to be stronger to overcome it. going through this terrible period but I can't do it, so many bad things keep clinging to me every day, every day. For me, it's like being in a living hell, I find my life deadlocked, tired and very tired, my last hope is that HRT can help me return to normal life, I also don't know when HRT will have results, I thought I was suffering from some incurable disease. I really live in fear and madness, please let me hug you tight so I know I'm not alone.
