Who Had The Cycle-Related Palpitations?

[anacyde]

Someone posted recently in the other forum about having a rough time with cycle-related palpitations that didn't want to give up.  I'm having the same deal.  My PACs had vanished for quite a long time, then I got hit with them end-cycle (it's usually mid, for a couple of days) and they've stayed with me for about three weeks, going on four now.  I don't recall who posted that, but I was wondering how you're doing.  I hope yours have improved.

I sometimes get PVC's around the beginning of my period--hormonal changes seem to be my trigger.  In addition, drinking coffee at that time of the month seems to be a bad idea lately--this last period I drank a cup of coffee at work a couple of days and then proceeded to throw PVC's like crazy off and on for the rest of the afternoon.  The ironic part of all this is that I work on the telemetry unit at the hospital--if they had hooked me up to tele, my rhythm strip would have looked worse than some of the patients!  Normally caffeine doesn't give me problems, so I can only assume that it was the combination (and also that the coffee at work is really strong stuff).  It's really interesting how all this stuff works, isn't it?

my hormones definately affect my pvcs/pacs. it doesnt always follow the same pattern though. sometimes they increase before during and after my period. this time i noticed a jump in them during my period and now still remaining after cycle done. we are in the m iddle of moving, which has been helpful bc i am physically active all day and i only notice them when i lay down to sleep, although i am pretty sure they are every couple beats all day log. i have taken myself off of toprol to get it out of my systm soo my husband and i can work on having a baby. i dont really think the toprol helped anyway and i notice my hair was falling out. i would much rather notice my pvcs (and i have a ton) than see my hair fall out. i was only on 25 mg and i also noticed that i couldnt think clearly. i feel better off of medicine.

I get them like clockwork when I ovulate and at the end of my cycle.  When I ovulate, it is one bad run that day, and then at the end of cycle it is a few days of hard thumps.    Sometimes they continue after the end of the cycle, and that always freaks me out.  I hope yours let up soon..

I think that was me. Well it is that time of the month and they are frequent. I feel pretty crappy.  When you have them frequent do they make you feel bad? Do you have them every few beats all day? I hope you are feeling ok.
