Your Heart Palpitations Might Be Perimenopause, Not Stress


Listen Later

Waking up at 3:00 AM with a racing heart can be terrifying.
If your tests are normal but you are told it is “just anxiety,” this video explains how perimenopause can cause heart palpitations, nighttime panic symptoms, and a hypersensitive nervous system even when you are not stressed.

In this video, I explain the biological reason heart palpitations happen during perimenopause, how estrogen and progesterone fluctuations affect the autonomic nervous system, and why these symptoms are often misdiagnosed as anxiety or panic disorder. If you have felt dismissed, gaslit, or confused by symptoms that feel physical and very real, this conversation will help you understand what is actually happening in your body.

This video is for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and midlife hormonal changes who want clarity, validation, and better language to advocate for themselves in medical settings.

If this helped you feel less alone, like the video so more women can find it, and share it with someone who has been told “everything looks normal” but still doesn’t feel okay.
