So I went back to docs today about my palpatations, they havent been too bad the last week tho, anyway he said could be Artirial Fibralation :'( dont know if thats dangerous? but have to have one of those holter things for 24hrs to moniter what it is doing :(

I asked about my last blood tests too and the meno one was at number 84, is that bad or good?, doc just said it was post meno sign, really confusing and slightly worried now :'(

Hi K9Love, i have been suffering for a while with palpatations and ectopic heartbeats. Had test done and recently had to wear the 24hr monitor. Just received a letter back from the Cardiac Consultant which said they had been able to pick up the ectopic beats and they showed nothing to worry about. he is however going to send me for an echo cardiograph just to make sure he has checked everything, but said he did not expect to find anything abnormal. These symptoms all seem to be part of the menopause and while scary and not very nice most seem to be harmless. It is good that your Dr is getting it checked it will give you peace of mind. Try not to worry. xx

k9love:
Thanks jgr, thats put my mind at rest a little x

I've had the 24 hour thing too which showed ectopic beats but nothing to worry about. Did you ask about the irregularity on the heart trace which showed up last time?
