Waking up with heart palpitations and fatigue

Posted , 8 users are following.

Anyone wakes up with heart palpitations and a fatigue that's out of this world? My body feel so fatigue and weak and my legs are so weak especially when I first wake up. I am so weak in the knees are while lying down. Could this be due to poor circulation? Not to mention the mental side of it, the anxiety when waking is awful too.

    Mary, I have all if what you mention. It's awful. I think the anxiety upon awakening is the worst. Do you get any inner body trembling like feeling or weakness in your arms and hands or shaky hands? I have this too. Saw several neurologists and nothing. Menopause can be so perplexing and frustrating!

    Hi .. Yes .. empathise with you .

    See your GP and ask for Propananol and take 2 as soon as you wake up - amazing meds - should help you - and within half an hour or so you should notice a difference .

    .. it helps me so much .. Menopause can be really debilitating and can turn you upside down . Are you on HRT ?

      Propananol or metoprolol are medications made for adrenaline surges, high heart rate, graves disease, thyroiditis, and anxiety. Doctors use Propananol and metoprolol for high blood pressure, but that was not what they were first made for. If your resting heart rate goes real high and stays high than you might need one of them. Also they will block adrenaline and will help with adrenaline anxiety. Here is a warning that doctors will not tell you, if you have adrenaline anxiety and start one of these medications then plan on taking it the rest of your life. Because every time you try to come off it your adrenaline and anxiety will go so high that you might not be able to handle it. Most people with high adrenaline have serious problems trying to come off these medications. However they do help with graves disease or thyroiditis and they could save your life if you ever have a thyroid or adrenaline storm.

      hello

      i was put on propanalol and it gave me s tight chest and breathlessness i got off it as soon as i could but those symptoms keep reoccurring, and it makes me extremely anxious. these symptoms are the physical symptoms of anxiety so it is a vicious circle.

      I have high adrenalin and I've tried it before. I don't think it's best for me. Im just skeptical about taking meds.. Im very sensitive to things. Yesterday I picked up a homeopathic drops from my nutritionist that helped me in the past and already my heart palps are pretty much gone.

      I understand I have study and used homeopathic medicine for 30 years. That is and will always be my first choice. I have study MCS, MCAS, Dysautonomia, Pots and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome for over 30 years so I know and I understand very, very, very, sensitive people.
