Hello! This looks like a really supportive forum, & just what I am looking for to try & make sense of this craziness I am going through. I am getting all the usual hot flushes etc (very grim). But it's the racing heart palpitations that are really getting me down. Please tell me I am not alone in this...
Thank you - Karen
Good Morning Karen,
You are not alone in the palpitations. They are a real treasure to be heaped onto the other little issues.
Ha ha thanks for that 
Hi Karen
No I get this frequently. Sometimes its for a few seconds but the palpitations are really strong. Other times its more of a flutter. I'm new on here but I've discovered that I am not on my own. there is lots of support. Hope this helps.

Hi Karen
I can relate to this myself! Menopause Is a pain to say the least.
I have more hot flushes in the evening.
It drives me mad!
One minute I'm taking my top off, next I'm putting it back on!
I have fast heart beating at times.
I get dizzy, double vision. It's a real inconvenience!
It's not nice growing old, when I have to put up with all that.
You feel like your a spring chicken!
Or in your twenties!
But then! Your body reminds you, your not!
I hate it!.
Anyway it's all part of the process.
What can we do? Nothing!
Except push aload of pills down me and hope for the best!
I eat allsorts of healthy foods. Most of the time, I cook from fresh anyway.
There are lots if recipies online, that are good for you, to cook.
Anyway enough of my moaning Karen,
It's just part of everyday life.
😊
Hi Jan
Sorry to hear you are suffering too. It's good to know I'm not the only one though
Hi Elizabeth
Thanks for your reply. Yes I too get dreadful dizziness. Really unpleasant, especially while you are working. I have started taking Sage, Starflower & Soya tablets (5 days in). So far no difference at all...but I live in hope. Don't really want to go down the HRT route at present
In the office the other day it was like 'Menopause Corner' ha ha. None I f my colleagues have had the palpitations & dizziness though. Ho hum...
Hi Karen.
Thanks for your reply.
I wouldn't personally bother with HRT myself, too much aggravation with worrying about the possible after affects of using it.
I would rather fight through the years with good food and food supplements, if they help. Not one for hormone replacements x
