Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms that you have mentioned are more likely to be related to anxiety. These are not related to menopause. You need to decrease your caffeine and alcohol intake and start with relaxation exercises.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
There is no doubt it is peri-menopausal...But that can not account for the pulse...
Loss of sleep and pain may well be responsible...
You should see a CARDIOLOGIST / get it DOCUMENTED by ElectroCardioGram (EKG).
Standard ECG records the electrical activity of the heart, for a few seconds. It can detect the arrhythmia occurring during that time only. If the episode occurs randomly or precipitated by a specific activity like exercise, one needs Holter or event monitor.
Anaemia / Anxiety / Alcohol / Tobacco (smoking) / Caffeine (too much tea, coffee, cola) / Fever / Pain / Stress / Thyroid / Vitamin D, calcium, magnesium / Medicines like Phenylephrine used for ‘cold’; Salbutamol used for asthma and so on / may be responsible.... / Illicit ‘drugs’ like Amphetamine are notorious to cause abnormal beats / At times, abnormal nerve paths in the heart (bypass tracts) or disease of the conduction system may be responsible!
See your doctor
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
