Panic Attack? Posted: 08-09-06 17:46pm
Hello,
since i've been menopausal i've had what I
think might be panic attacks. I have
palpitations on a regular basis but they
get much worse and my heart rate goes way
up even if I just sitting or laying down.
I feel very anxious and it gets hard to
breathe. It's very upsetting to have
your heartbeat so fast when you're not
exercising or scared. It feel the need
to get up and move around. It usually
subsides in about 15-20 minutes. Does
anyone else experience this?
Thanks for any input,
dj

i have had palpitations since I was 21
years old and i'm now 49. They started
out a result of a stressful marriage
situation. Now they are mostly due to
premenopause. There are times when I
just get so tired of them I could scream.
I am currently taking medication to
control them somewhat. They are at their
worse during my period though. Sometimes
I even get a little chest pain and then a
'rush' feeling that I can't explain.
Doctor says heart is ok but can't explain
what hapened. I would just love to get
in contact with a gyn who is an expert in
the menopause field. I think us women
deserve some relief. Just know that
you're not alone with this palpitation
thing. It's more common than you might
think. May our lord help us through this
transistion period.
