Is Having Palpitations One Of The Symptoms Of Perimenopause?
I am a 52 yo female with sleep apnea and mitral valve prolapse. The mvp has been asymptomatic for years. It seems like when I use my cpap machine, i get palpitations. The palpitations usually happen after I fall asleep. Never while awake. When I have a bad episode of palpitations, it seems like I m on edge all day, anything will make my heart race. I have been to several Dr s and cardiologists. They want me to start medications instead of finding out what s causing the palpitations . Btw, I think i maybe perimenopausal also. The palpitations may start a day or week before my period. Can any of these issues cause palpitations? I know the mvp can, but can my cpap or hormones cause the palpitations?

Hi,
Palpitations are not related to menopause and may be due to something else. If symptoms persist, you have to consult a physician and get evaluated.
