Heart rhythm

I've been told I have PVCs and am two years post-menopause.  Could these palpitations be related to menopause?  I've had echocardiograms, ekgs, stress tests, blood work and all come back good.  I'm 55.  My gyn told me I should have no more symptoms due to menopause...is she correct?  I would feel better if i knew the PVCs were menopause related, at least there would be a reason for them then.  Thx.

bbxx is absolutely on the mark...PVC's have a mind of their own - disappear and come back regardless of what we try to do to manage them.  As a scientist I seek explanations through testing hypotheses, however, since I am now the experiment I cannot seem to find any answers to my PVC's.

Hi. We all want the pvcs to make sense. I think for some they are related to hormones, changes, health etc.. and then there are those of us they just come and go with no rhyme or reason. I dont know if anyone can give you a definate answer on that. My experience has been all over the place. Every time i find a pattern, the pattern is broken. I guess they have a mind of their own. Hopefully you will find yours get less and less or perhaps they will just disappear as quickly as they showed up. :)
