I'm new and I've just started having ectopic heart beats.....

[janny63]

Hi I'm new and I have had GAD :scared10: for 14 years, just after my son was born, thought I was going mad when I had my first panic attack, no one (GP'S included) seemed to have much info or help to give me! I still have ''semi panic attacks'' , mostly if I attempt the motorway, my first attack happened on a motorway,but seem to be able to cope most of the time although some days I can struggle breathing properly. Recently started feeling more anxious than not and having ectopic heartbeats especially 1-2 wks before my period. I feel I may be peri-menopausal and hormone fluctuations are causing this. Dr seems to dismiss this! Does anyone else ot there feel the same or am I imagining it? :wacko:

Hi Janny,
I had an echocardiogram a couple of weeks ago and the lady who did it told me that she sees lots of peri-menopausal women with funny heartbeats. She said it's not necessarily a recognised condition but that she and her colleagues had noticed it and now she always asks her patients if they are peri-menopausal (I am not, by the way). So, anecdotally speaking, it could well have something to do with your hormones, even if the docs seem dismissive.

Hiya
I am new to this site as well and also suffer from heart worries and missed beats and chest pain etc. I hope we can get reassurance from this as we don't feel alone! I wish there was some miracle cure to worrying I really do!!

Hi Janny,

I have suffered from all these 'weird and wonderful' heartbeats for years, I have spent so much time trying to work out what triggers them and what doesnt. I definitly agree that hormones play some part with them, Im 42 and they have got worse over the last few years and are worse just before a period and when a periods finishing.

Feel free to contact me if you want to chat.
