Palpitations around time of cycle

[iamfaithful]

Hello-

It was suggested that I post on here to see if anyone has any of my symptoms.

I am a 37 yo mother of three and have recently had a procedure to freeze my fibroids.  Well I initially went to my OBGYN because I was having really bad heart palpitations (skipped beats) and I had a full cardio workup and they could find nothing but the skipped beats of course.  Well I noticed that whenever my cycle was almost over or a week after my cycle was when I had the palps the worst.  My initial visit to the ER was around that time of the month and every time threafter (I am a "frequent flyer" to the ER because of this).  Well, of course everyone has said "anxiety/panic" and I think that is part of it, but with these darn things coming and going ANYONE would be anxious.  I have had a full workup by my OBGYN because we thought I might be perimen. or that my electrolytes were off had a  thyroid test by my PCP-nada.  But it just can NOT  be a coincidence that I have bad palps for a couple of weeks-after period and then I am pretty much palp free for a couple of weeks.  
I dread that time of the month because I know how bad they are going to be and I have to MAKE myself not go to the ER everytime.  I just want to know if anyone else can identify.  My OBGYN talked me into getting the cryomalosis (sp) because I had really bad cramps and clotting but not any EXTREME bleeding.   Anyway, that procedure was a success I guess, but I was hoping it would be like a magic cure-who knows why because it doesn't mess with your hormones....which is a good thing.
I am currently on beta blockers for the palps and have been prescribed Xanax for the aniety; but I don't take the Xanax anymore.  Just a litle disclaimer :-)  Hope to hear from someone soon.

I tend to have more palpitations 2 or 3 days prior to starting my periods. I was told that it was probably related to the hormones and fluid retention during those times. Hope this helps some.  I wasn't able to take the beta blockers, bp and hr too low. So, the dr put me on an antidepressant, lexapro, and I don't even notice them. Well, on a rare occasion. Best wishes.

I have seen a cardio-I stated that above- but because they didn't find anything I went to see my OBGYN also.  I have worn event monitors, had a stress test and echo-all clear.  I just wanted to know if anyone else had this problem during their time of the month.

I would say that you should most likely want to see a cardiologist. Gynos are great in what they do but they do not specialize in other fields of medicine. It sounds like your gyno is on the right track but if this is really bothering you, I would for sure see a cardiologist.
