Fast heart rate

Hi ladies,

I have been having some kind of week. My new thing with the onset of my period now is a migraine headache. I've gotten them before but usually it was before or after a period not during. So I went to a picnic this past Saturday and my period started that morning. It rained the entire time and it was frigidly cold outside. I got sick as a result. I had severe sinus pressure and pain, coughing. This has been going on all week. I went to the doctor yesterday and she gave me a prescription for a saline spray for my nose. My blood pressure was high so she changed my meds. Well today after I took my first dose, I went to sleep and when I got up I noticed my heart was racing. This immediately set off my anxiety. I just talked myself down. Thankfully after a few hours it returned to normal but how scary it was. I haven't had that problem in a long time so it was like new. I have been feeling weird all week. I can't wait for my hormones to finally settle down.

I’ve noticed that sinus pressure and blocked ears seem to be a regular thing with me now. I’m 2 years post meno. My heart rate goes a little crazy at these times too. I get PVCs and there are times when they’ll happen constantly over several hours. It seems cyclical and these symptoms are often happening together. 

Hi Teri! Thanks for responding. It's nice to know that I'm not alone. What PVC's?

I meant, what are PVC's?

It is possible that the change in medication may be causing tge racing heart.

I hadn't thought of that but it is very possible.
