I definitely notice more palps as well as increased anxiety when I'm having my period. I think it's all the extra hormones. It's so frustrating!! Nice to know I"m not the only one!!

Yes, I definitely have worse palps and a pounding heart in the 2 weeks before my period. A few months ago I looked through the scientific literature and found a number of published papers that found that women tend to have more palpitations and episodes of arrhythmias such as SVT while they are PMSing.
