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

    If it makes you feel any better I went from having a couple every few weeks to having 4000 a day, pretty much overnight. I don't want to take the meds the cardiologist has prescribed. I am pinning my hopes on the GP and HRT. Need to make an appointment to get started.
