Since I have been experiencing perimenopause, I have had occasional bouts of rapid heartbeat. It is actually very scary. Is this hormonal and is it anything to be concerned about? Can it be treated with hormone therapy?

Since I have been experiencing perimenopause, I have had occasional bouts of rapid heartbeat. It is actually very scary. Is this hormonal and is it anything to be concerned about? Can it be treated with hormone therapy?
Heart racing and being able to notice your heart beating can be associated with menopause. I would check your hormone levels and replace any deficient hormones and see if the symptoms resolve. Additionally, it would be wise to see your primary care physician to have an EKG performed to make sure there are no additional issues to be dealt with but typically mild symptoms are related to menopause.
Are there any hormone related symptoms other than menopause that are frequently treated with bioidentical hormones?
There are many hormone related symptoms that are related to menopause that we do not necessarily think of other than the hot flashes and night sweats. Other symptoms of menopause include mood changes, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, hair thinning, osteopenia or osteoporosis, weight gain, libido changes, difficulty sleeping, mood swings, etc.
