Skipping heartbeats once again :(
Posted , 5 users are following.
Well, I have that skipping heartbeat thing again. I am 51 and over 2 years post menopausal.
I take Chelated magnesium 350 mg every day and this worked well for skipping heartbeats up until now. But they started in yesterday afternoon and it is like heart hiccups. I have upped my dose of chelated magnesium to 450 mg. I have had no caffeine. I don't know why. My bp is fine. I take bp meds and have for years so I check my bp daily. My pulse is good as is my Blood O2. Just this skipping. Just when I think they are gone, I get a bout of skips. I am not stress out.
I am not bringing them on by worry. I have had episodes of this in the past. Chelated magnesium was a godsend. But now it isn't helping.
I have a standing follow up appt with my NP next Wed. She is going to ask me if I have seen a cardiologist. No I haven't I had one in my old city, but not here. I had an ultrasound done on all my major organs including my heart. All looks good other than a cyst on my left kidney.
I am getting arthritis really bad in my left hand (I am left handed) and in my right knee.
I started taking glucosamine with msn about a week ago it seems to have helped my knee.
Postmenopause I feel is worse than perimenopause. At least for me. Peri was hell, post is nighmarish hell. I have lost all hope this will ever end. It just seems like a myriad of dr visits and gyn visits.
But this skipping hb is just horrible.

I will try the coconut water. I used to drink it all the time a few years ago. It's high in potassium. Thanks.

i too am post. i guess that just mean we no longer have a period ..and yes it is hell!!!!! i never knew of menapause or peri none of yhat all i knew or was told by drs i had pms. and now that i dont have aperiod i feel worse then ever. yes the heart doing rollovers drives me nuts. some days itll do it once or twice other days all day i was on inderal but some how no meds effect menapause. it seems when i finally get one thing calm down something else pops up. i am always tempted to run to dr but my drs just blame everything on anxiety!!! s**t i wouldnt have anxiety if i didnt have all this popping up..nighttime is the worse..i hope u feel better...

I know! If it isn't one thing it's another. It seems like my symptoms are so much worse now than before post. Which is making me so short tempered and short on patients even when I drive. It's the skipping heart, or the severe achy joints. Then for whatever reason I either have a BV or a YI back and forth. It's Like my body is out of whack and I can't seem to regulate. So I have a follow up with my Nurse Practitioner and a vaginal ultrasound on the 21st with my GYN. It just never ends.

Hi Kelij048
I have bad palpitations skipping beat all the time for the past 6-7 yrs . None of the doctors tell it could be peri manpause .I use to go to ER when it gets worse at nights its scary the only solution i got is from praying to God it makes me feel better i got all the crazy symptoms . what progress do you see by taking glucosamine? hope we will get better .
