Female skip beat discovery

[Spammy123]

Iv been taking bisoprolol for skipped heartbeats which has worked well but still get the odd episodes. Iv just recently realised that the day before I have my period I get these palpitations throughout the day and not sure if maybe it's a hormonal thing that brings them on (along with the heart condition). I also have a mirena coil and not sure if this plays a part. Any others ladies out there who experience the same??

Frequently got palpitations pre period.... long time ago now! Assumed it was part of pmt but also as your body swells there is probably some pressure on that troublesome vagus nerve. Just another of those extra issues for women!

Thanks for your reply, yes it's quite fascinating how the body reacts to certain things

Hello and thank you for sharing your post on the Forum. Everyone is different and in particular female hormones can have an effect on the body at certain times of the month. I would advise keeping a 'diary of events' and record when these 'episodes' are happening to build up a record to share with your doctor. Is the Bisoprolol a newly prescribed medication? You may be interested in downloading the 'drug treatment for heart rhythm disorders' for further information about the beta blocker; api.heartrhythmalliance.org...

If so, then please do not hesitate to contact your doctor for advice. Alternatively, please contact a member of our Patient Services: heartrhythmalliance.org/aa/...
