I awake in the morning with what I presume are palpitations, where it feels like my heart is beating very hard-not sure that it is racing however. I sleep quite well and dont perceive myself to be stressed. My blood pressure and heart rate after moderate exercise are normal. More often I have been told my BP is on the low side.I am a healthy active 60 year old female, but of course concerned as my maternal grandparents were felled by stroke.I wondered if this may have to do with menopause
Hi and thank you for asking! I read your query and understood your concerns. Tachycardia and palpitations are a common finding in menopausal women. However, other causes should be excluded first including:- Anemia-Cardiac issues (cardiac failure)This is why I would like to suggest doing the following examinations:- Blood work- ECG- Cardiac echoic they are normal then your symptoms are definitely related to menopause. Hope this will be of help! Wish you health!
