Perimenopause elevated HR and BP
I am 46 yrs old. The last two months I have ended up in the ER exactly 14 days after the first day of my period. My resting heart rate went really high (150-160) and blood pressure went high too 150-170’s). They said I had a low grade fever. CT scan, EKG, Chest X-rays, all normal. D Dimer came back slightly elevated. They found nothing other than I was dehydrated. IV fluids made me feel better after about 30-60 mins.
I can’t keep visiting the ER every cycle, so I am not sure what to do. I am convinced it is Hormonal. After reading up, I suspect it is my estrogen depleting causing my night sweats which may be dehydrating me. I have no idea but I’m going to talk to a certified Menopause Practitioner. The sudden tachycardia is terrifying!
I can’t be alone in this. Any suggestions, solutions or stories welcome.
