Start your visit →Heart palpitations during the menopause transition are typically caused by estrogen-driven changes in autonomic nervous system tone and the sensitivity of the heart's electrical conduction system. They commonly occur with hot flashes, at night, or with anxiety episodes.
Most menopausal palpitations are benign — but new palpitations always warrant evaluation to rule out arrhythmia, thyroid disease, anemia, or cardiovascular disease.
Kindr providers evaluate new palpitations with thyroid function tests, complete blood count, and a careful symptom history. We refer for cardiology workup including EKG and Holter monitoring when clinically indicated.
For confirmed menopausal palpitations, hormone therapy often resolves the symptom along with other vasomotor and anxiety complaints.
Avoidance of triggers (caffeine, alcohol, dehydration) and stress reduction help.
What it looks like in Minnesota: Severe winters; vitamin D screening should be part of any midlife workup. Kindr providers are licensed in Minnesota. Kindr providers are licensed across all of Minnesota (MN) and prescribe to every ZIP code — from Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Rochester to rural communities.
Hormonally-driven palpitations typically improve within 4 to 8 weeks of starting appropriate HRT.
Palpitations are common in perimenopause and most are benign — but they are never something to dismiss without evaluation. Kindr always errs on the side of investigating.
Seek emergency care immediately for chest pain, fainting, severe shortness of breath, or palpitations with neurologic symptoms.
