Oh, and Lisa - to answer your question about menopause - I didn't address that directly. But are you asking about hormone replacement or hormone suppression?

I had my cycle last week, and I had the heart flutters the entire time this time, usually, they stop once I start. Then again, I am in the early stages of menopause, so, this might contribute to them as well.

I have this book by Dr Lee called "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You about Menopause" and he said that a lot of heart issues could be resolved with using "bio-identical" progesterone cream.I am trying it again and hope to have some favorable results.

This was the article that brought me to the site. It made total sense since I get palps mid-cycle around ovulation time and then again a few days before my period.

I keep track of both my periods and my palps on my ipod touch with a free menstrual calendar app.

[Susie]

I don't need a calendar to tell me when I am near, the heart does that for me, and lately, it has been working overtime on that subject. YUCK.

and to think I always thought I wouldn't have anything menopause related happen to me until at least my 50's... I'm only 38 now.

I can't remember where, but I was reading that sometimes it helps to eat a handful of edamame daily. Has anyone had any good results from eating them?

I haven't noticed a difference eating edamane. I eat it a lot. But, what works for one, might not work for another. Give it a try. It sure can't hurt.
