Heart palpitations can feel scary—especially when they seem to come out of nowhere. In this episode of Her Health Code, we decode the connection between heart palpitations and perimenopause, and why this common midlife symptom is often overlooked or misunderstood.

Jess & Michele share how hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause can impact the nervous system and cardiovascular responses, leading to sensations like a racing or pounding heart. They also talk about why many women don’t realize this can be related to midlife hormone changes, and how that lack of awareness can create unnecessary fear or confusion.

This episode is designed to bring awareness to what’s happening in the body, help you feel less alone in the experience, and give you a starting point for understanding and navigating heart palpitations in midlife with more confidence.
