Hi, I know exactly how you feel. I had a hysterectomy at 42 and a couple of years later I started having severe menopause symptioms which included palpitations, When they are severe they can be quite frightening.As I did not take HRT Itried every natural remedy under the sun for all the symptoms I was experiencing. However, My life changed when I went to see a chinese doctor who told me that due to the menopause my body chi was very lowand this caused my palpitations and other symptoms such as hot flushes, energy dips, bloating,dizziness, sleepless nights,weight gain etc. Since I have been receiving chinese herbs and acupunture I feel a different person and have now got my life back.They say that a surgical menopause is worse and I suppose that the body hasn,t had the time to make the normal adjustments. I don't think it is a mind over matter thing when one is dealing with the hormonal changes in the body.However, as we are all different there is not one cure for all, so it is a matter of trial and error.Maybe chinese medicine would work for you as it has for me.
