Menopause Support Group

Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.

Breakthrough Palpitations

Is it common to have palpitations even if you are on medications to treat them? Last night at 3 a.m., I felt some with a racing pulse. I took a xanax and felt better. I have been taking propranolol 10 mg twice a day. Any advice?

I would be safe and call your doctor about this. Especially since he has prescribed medication for it. He should know about the med he put you on and if its causing a problem or if the dosage, etc is correct for you.

I am on klonopin 2 times a day 1 mg pills for my panic attacks, but she also gave me some xanax, also 1 mg for breakthrough and I have been having ALOT of breakthrough. Mine seem to happen when I get a bad hot flash!

Last night we were in walmart, it was so hot in there, I started to feel like I was going to pass out, my heart started racing, my hubby said I was looking a bit white. I popped a half a xanax under my tounge and felt better within 10 minutes.

I HATE MENO!
