Hi,
My friend is 51 and just starting perimenopause symptoms. Today, she has had a heart palpitation, shortness of breath, very slight dizziness, racing heart (pulse 106) for the first time. So far it has lasted about 4 hours and she says it has been coming and going. I have read this is a common and usually benign symptom. She rested but is feeling ok, like she ran a mile, but not so she can't function normally. She will monitor and if it reoccurs, see a doc for sure. She did a blood pressure monitor at home and was an irregular heartbeat.
I know this is a forum where we all have valve problems and she does not, but any ideas about if 4 hours off and on is a long time for heart palpitations and irregular heartbeat?
Thanks! Betsy
