Night sweats and skipped heart beats before and during period.
I suffer endometriosis for long time and have been treated for it, had thyroid checked all fine. I find though just before my period I have major night sweats feel completely drained and get skipped heart beats sometimes racing (currently getting heart tests done) the skipped beats become more noticeable when I'm on my period is this something to be worried about? My cardio said to get thyroid checked but all came back fine..its got worse as I've got older now 33.

Welcome to the world of hormones. Mine do the same. Talk to your doctor about it. I have cyclic night sweats and anxiety that makes me feel like my heart is beating oddly around my period. So, talk to your doctor. There are some supplements you can take and I sleep with a fan at the end of my bed. Of course, you'd then want to rule out anything else that could be going too when at the doctor. But it sounds like hormonal sensitivity. good luck

Yea I agree just never knew hormones could cause such havoc I never used to get it when I was younger but during ovulation I get anxiety and during mensy. I have been taken to hospital few times when my heart rate has shot off to 180bmp and feel sick and very faint. Currently have a implant loop device to record it but it super scary! I'm starting to keep a diary and defo see sometimes hormones to be a factor esp with the flip flop heart beats but then also see my heart rate increases after sugar food and chocolate and I don't touch caffeine!!! What natural stuff would you recommend? ;) thanks
Oh my , so you are wearing a heart monitor? First, you need to get a handle on exactly what is happening with your heart. I do have cyclic things around my hormones and hormones can affect what you are talking about but you want to make sure you don't have anything serious going on!! First and foremost. One of the best things for heart rate, heart rhythm, etc. is exercise. Do you do this regularly? Once you get cardiac clearance, start a program of this. It's like medicine for the heart! And it helps regulate hormones. There are otc products for hormone fluctuations but women generally use these as they get older and near menopause. Let me know what is going on with this heart situation though!
