Title: Low vitamin D or hormones?
Post by: CE1976 on November 28, 2024, 05:44:55 PM

Im after some advice please! For the last 6 weeks I’ve been experiencing palpitations and heart rate spikes and feeling very fatigued. Gp suggested it could be hormone related so I’m having a consultation next week about hrt (I’ve also had very irregular periods for the last 2 years).
 However I’ve also just found out my vitamin D levels are pretty low. So now I’m not sure whether to go down the hrt route or just try vitamin D supplements for now?
Has anyone else had any experience of this? I’m worried the vitamin D will take a long time to take effect and am fed up with feeling rubbish but not  sure about trying too much at once! Thanks.

Hi,Vit D is essential,especially in the winter months but make sure you get a good one, I take vit d + k2 they kinda go hand in hand but not absolutely essential.
Palpitations are a very common symptom of meno but always best to get these things checked  :)

Thanks. Just realised I accidentally posted this twice  ::)
I also have a cardiology appt next week so will see what they say. I veer most days between thinking it’s something minor to panicking that I have something awful!
