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.

Does anyone have heart palpitations?

I wonder if anyone else has palps.

I have heard it can be hormone related. I skip my vivelle dot sometimes and notice I feel anxious.


I also have feelings of tightness and pressure in my neck.

I don't get them often but yes once in a while my heart will pound for no reason. It's scary. I did have an EKG to make sure nothing was seriously wrong and it came out fine so it's just the joys of perimenopause.

I went through this last year, just before I was diagnosed as being peri-menopausal. My doctor referred me to a cardiologist, who put me on a 24 hr. holter. It turned out to be nothing, so it most likely had something to do with menopause. Don't be too concerned, but to ease your mind, talk to your doctor.

Oh yes, the heart palps.....not fun when you dont have a clue as to what they are.

I thought I was having a heart attack or something. I called the Dr and they did an EKG, blood work and stress test. Come to find out, it was my good friend Menopause with her many symptoms.

I too am on Vivelle and if for some reason I forget to change the patch, I too will feel anxious, sweaty, uncomfortable.

Menopause is just cruel!!!!!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
