Hi Debi

yes I can, I'm exactly the same was in A&E a few weeks ago with the missing heartbeat, I was due to go on holiday the next day and got this missing heart beat, ended up in there having lots of tests all normal, it was a anxiety/panic attack, haven't missed a period yet, but mine are getting closer together, I have to say the anxiety is the worst of my symptoms I can't help feeling that something bad is wrong with me every time I get a symptom, I can't wait for it to end, I feel like I'm going crazy sometimes, thankfully I have a understanding husband, big hug your way xx

Hi Debbie, have hope sweetie we will get through this, my symptons have not been too bad for a few months but they have reappeared now. To me it feels like my hormones changes, takes my body a while to adjust and then I'm ok for a bit and then they change again. Or it could be I've not been taking my supplements whilst feeling good so I'm going to reintroduce those, use up what I have and the get a few more.

Ditto, ditto..  Some days are better than others. Some days you never know what you are going to get. Hair loss, shakes, dizzy, weight gain, nutty as hell, low or no sex drive, an worse of all no, no energy.  I just seem to not care most days.  Just want one day where I feel like myself. Where the hell did I go.

Hi debi

This is how i felt the other day on Friday due to paxil and tazodone my heart rate was really high and my heart was pounding like crazy 

I had to stop the trazodone and paxil it through off my heart beat for a while but its back on track again 

Then there are the mood swings crying and just not feeling so great so i understand how you feel

Hi hun

Hope you dont mind me asking but does the hrt help the palpitations and anxiety?

Ive been in perimenopause eight years and im seriously considering hrt. The health anxiety is kicking my butt. Already on a low dose AD. My perimenopause has been going on so many years im beginning to think it will never end

Im still having periods so I would have to have combined hrt worried about getting the levels right x

hey the hrt certainly helps sweats and palpitations ..the beta blokers help the anxiety dont know how i wud be without them hope u ok hun.

Welcome to me. Just started with the heart flutters. Thought I was having a heart attack. This is awful. Now it is follwed by the shivers, sore boobs, thinning hair. I should just check here before I vist my doctor. Where is the book that contains all of the things we are going to endure. I still have periods and 51 and the symptons kick my but. If if feel good it only lasts for a few days. Then all of this hits. HELP! Where do I get off the merry-go-round.
