Definitely think you should discuss first with your GP.

I don't know what HRT your on but when I was on Evorel Conti I had palpitations,missed beats and pounding heart beat.....at night I could hear it racing in my ear against the pillow...and I agree it's frightening.....my GP told me she thought the hormone dose was too high for me and changed me to a low dose Premique....the palpitations etc disappeared almost instantly.....so no I wouldn't up the dose but ask for something else

I had this and found the only thing that helped was beta blockers. I was not prescribed them for this but for anxiety but they have stopped the racing heart. I am on a very small dose.
The only way I could get it to stop pre tablet days was to make myself cough.
