It’s quite common in peri. I had it for a while when I was sitting and when I was laid in bed at night and sometimes in the morning. I remember googling it and it did say when estrogen is low (or was it high? meno brain!
). I rarely get it anymore.

Google says it isn't harmful, it's just a bit unnerving pounding away when I'm trying to sleep. I'll have a read up about it , the hormones being a bit out of whack makes sense.It’s quite common in peri.

I get the palpitations when I go to bed and my GP said it was peri and gave me propranolol which definitely helps.
Has anyone tried to raise their estrogen levels via diet or supplements? I'm in the early stages of peri menopause and just trying to plan ahead a bit. Thanks
I get really high heart notifications when I go to bed also, and I haven’t had a Covid jab ever. I’ve been wondering if it’s the hrt.
I get palpitations often when I’m resting but I’m not on HRT. Must be someone hormonal
I'm vegan, and consume quite a bit of soy (edamame beans, tofu, miso soup, natto, soy yogurt and soy milk). I'm 51 and feeling good! They say that soy might be the reason why Japanese women tend to said through the menopause. Not sure if this is true, but this, together with daily exercise, is certainly working for me.
Yes mine started pre HRT
Getting a recurring sweat rash under my boob, I have stopped wearing a bra so it must be fungal. I've a fungal toe and fingernail infection. Psoriasis on my scalp. This getting older lark is not pleasant is it
I get this too. It’s awful. Night sweats don’t help
Make sure you’re washing your clothes, bedding and towels on 60.
Yes I have had one, wasn’t painful more like stomach cramps
After the brilliant advice I got on this thread a couple of months ago I got started on HRT patches and all I can say is I have my life back. I can sleep, I don't feel the awful rushes of anxiety and hot flushes, I'm so glad my GP listened after two years of begging because it was becoming unbearable. I forgot to change the patch a few days ago and that night couldn't sleep, the sweat was pouring out of me and I was so worried the HRT had stopped working. It was the next day I realised, changed it, and went back to normal by that evening.
It's bonkers that so many women are refused this treatment before the age of 45 due to being "too young", my GP said (when he done the check up after four weeks to see how I was getting on) that I definitely was in early menopause as I told him all the (literally life destroying) symptoms were completely gone, vanished. And forgetting to change the patch and the symptoms coming back has proved it. It makes me so angry to know there's many, many women suffering that get completely brushed off, as I did.

I’m glad you got there in the end. It should not take women two years of begging to get hrt.
Has anyone tried one of these cooling mats?
I should imagine they’re just a gimmick but hot flushes coupled with insomnia is not a good mix.

No , but I am interested also. My sleep had just improved so much with HRT and podcasts and with this weather I feel back to square one. At least abroad you have AC.Has anyone tried one of these cooling mats?

I wonder if the cooling mat is similar to the one that I have for my dog in hot weather? If so I can confirm that they really work. I have been known to sit on it on hot days! 
THANK YOU to those of you who've mentioned sleep as a symptom over the past couple of days. It's made me realise that I haven't had more than a couple of full nights of sleep in the past 3 or 4 months and that, combined with a new symptom of itchy skin, plus the existing ones of night sweats, hot flushes, atrocious short-term memory, large redistribution, crying at adverts and a cycle that's now anything from 3 to 6 weeks, meant I called the surgery at lunchtime today and have an appointment tomorrow to discuss starting HRT. I'm 49 next month, so hopefully won't be too much of a battle.
I’m so glad it has worked for you and thanks for sharing! Any negative side effects at all can I ask?
