Hi Ladies,
I've been going through some posts on palpitations and the menopause which has helped put my mind at ease slightly.
I had a hysterectomy (partial) still have ovaries when i was 40 (Now 52) it was confirmed a couple of years ago i was in the middle of menopause, main symptoms were hot flushes and feeling teary all the time. I talked to my doctor who prescribed me patches, not sure what they were called as i didn't end up taking them, read the side effects and thought i'd rather have the symptoms.
A couple of months ago i started getting palpitations, i get them sitting down at work, walking down the street or when lying down at night, had them for a few days and they went. A month later i got them again, i figured this was something to do with menopause or time of the month, because i still get all those other menstrual symptoms.
I'm now at that time of the month again and i've had palpitations on and off all day/night for 3 days straight. Hence why i came to look up on this forum. I can see a lot of women get these at certain times or when trying to sleep, but is it normal to have them throughout the day/night?
I've decided i'll have to go back to docs, mainly to do with this but also because i'm getting aching joints, feeling teary and feeling very agitated/moody, hot flushes aren't that bad anymore. I think patches would suit as i'm awful at remembering to take pills. Did any of you ladies make the choice what you had or did you let your doctors work it out with you?
Thank you in advance
