ok really serious question!

True, and for some women (any age) it can be related to hormones (i.e. happening more at certain points in your cycle). I occasionally get episodes of PVC's, and when it happens it's almost always at a certain time of the month. You should get checked out to make sure everything's OK.

As an added note, I was just talking with a friend of mine who had heart palpitations for a good part of her adult life. For her, they found that low dose birth control solved the problem and that the cause was hormone fluctuations. She found this out in her 30's and she is now 47 and not pre-menopausal just yet. She had recently gone off the pill for some reason, and the heart palps came back. She quickly went back on it and they subsided again.

However, it can be due to hormone imbalance during peri-menopause (if not heart problems), but also, and this can fool you because it did me, that if your thyroid is off it can give you the same symptoms as peri-menopause - all the way down to strange cycles, hot flashes, and erratic bleeding.

Ok really strange, I woke up with a cold this morning! I was not expecting that! Is it possible I was trying to fight it. I have not had a palp since yesterday afternoon now. Weird. Anyway I have an appointment for next week. I am going to continue getting more water down and making sure I get plenty of sleep.
I am going to try and keep a jouranl of the palps to see if there is a pattern at this time as well. Thank you all once again for advice and listening.

Brandi, please see a doc. It's better just to go and rule out anything serious than to speculate. Then when your doc says everything is okay, you can try the remedies suggested by others. Okay?

It is in the plans! Thank you for your concern!
