Suggest Treatment For Heart Palpitations

My blood pressure is 111/60 and I get palpatations which are very annoying. They are particularly worse when I have my period or just before. I saw a cardiologist as I was also missing a beat occasionally and had all the tests and everything came back normal. Is there anything I can do to help them as I find them very worrying. I am 51 years old and still having periods although not as regular as they were. I have never smoked I only drink the odd time, I don t eat dairy or red meat and my diet is very healthy. I also drink approx 2 litres of water a day and do not drink tea or coffee .

Hi Mam,

Welcome to health care magic,

I understand your query and concern.

Your symptoms are suggestive of pre menstrual syndrome and anxiety related Palpitations.

I advise you to get an ECG,2D Echo,ultrasound abdomen to look for any abnormality.

Drugs like low dose Metoprolol can be taken.

Avoid spicy food and drink.

Exercise regularly for 20-30min.

Consult your cardiologist and gynecologist for expert management and review with reports.

Post your further queries if any,

Thank you.
