Hi Floodlights,
I start by saying that i have no medical training or any expertise in heart condition and it is reassuring that you have seen a Cardiologist .
My experience : a few months ago i started having what felt like my heart beating very and frighteningly fast this wasn’t happening every day .
It was a very strange and scary feeling in my chest that would last seconds to a max of a minute but really didn’t happen frequently to be investigated.
A few months forward , i started getting hot flushes and night sweats and they were all with no exception preceded by that same heart beating uncontrollably fast , so in my case i realised and it turns out that those were palpitations which some of us get before a hot flush or a night sweats .
These episode of my fast beating continued for a little while on hrt and now seem to have stopped ,so we’re not caused or a consequence of hrt but somehow related to the menopause symptoms .
I wonder too if the perfect dosage of oestrogel could help …
So this is my experience but of course there are so many reasons and the same symptoms could be a reflection of something completely different or more serious .
I find that keeping a diary of how often things happen can help when talking to a Specialist (i am currently doing that about bleeding with oestrogel and utrogestan .
I have to point out too that i didn’t have any other symptoms like shortness of breath or chest pain common with myocarditis ,only very rapid heartbeat scary heartbeat .
Take care
