Re: Perimenopause - Heart Palps - And The Beat Goes On!
Hi i have changed doctors due to the fact he wouldnt listen, i wasnt on my own as my new doctors told me they have had 400 new patients from his panel.What my new doctor told me was that atenolol was the first ever blood pressure tablet on the market and they dont even use it at this doctors, so they weaned me off it, from 50mg to 25mg and then off i was bad for abot 2 weeks.But i do think i scared myself really, but because i have been in the house for nearly 2 years ive done everyday things like cooking,washing,and walkeing round,well these new doctors have said i have let my muscles go in my legs thats why there so weak, so im working on getting them right i know its going to take time to do this.Ive done more today than i normally do and my legs are burning and shaky and hurting.I just want my life back and to be able to go out again and go shopping and take the dog for a walk

I'm a newbie , and I've been feeling the need to find out that I'm not alone in what I'm going through. I have those palpitations every now and then, and they are nerve-wracking! I'm 41, and I mentioned to my G.P. and my GYN that I'm sure I'm in perimenopause because I've been having what I consider to be suspicious symptoms that are typical of it, and confirmation to me was that I missed a period almost a year ago (sure wish I'd do that more often). They both said, "well, you have a long time until menopause, and the average age is..." I finally told my doctor that it's not that I think it's going to happen tomorrow, but perimenopause can last for many years and that's the part that bothers us.

Hi,
That's why I joined too! I just wanted to know that I am not alone. It really made me feel much better just knowing that other people are going through the same types of things and that the symptoms are not symptoms of something life threatening or serious.

Re: Perimenopause - Heart Palps - And The Beat Goes On!
Thanks! It is a relief, although I'm not glad any of us need to deal with this crazy stuff. I read or heard that unless you get very lightheaded or have major issues when you have the palpitations, not to worry (easier said than done). Another aggravating thing is the feeling that I'm about to be light headed, and this slight feeling of disorientation in my vision, if that makes ANY sense. But those don't happen during palpitations. Well, I guess that's another thread...
Re: Perimenopause - Heart Palps - And The Beat Goes On!
I understand fully your concerns with the light headed feelings. That was one of the first symptoms for me and it is very disconcerting! It feels as if your head is swimming. I have just learned to lay my head back for a brief moment and then it's usually back to normal for me. It has gotten a lot better with time.
I wish we didn't have to deal with this stuff either! I am ready to be out of peri and into menopause. Wish it would happen sooner than later!
