It really sounds like you are having panic attacks or problems with anxiety.  This can be brought on by "the change of life", However I would recommend you go see your family doctor or your OB.  It sounds like you may need a hormone replacement.

you probably had a type of palpitation called a PVC or PAC- your heart just beats a little too fast and gets ahead of itself. lots of people get them, theyre harmless unless you have an underlying problem like a heart defect. if you just get one here and then that's pretty common and youre fine. if youre getting quite a few, youre still probably fine but should get it checked out just to be on the safe side. \n\ni have them bad, i literally get thousands some days, it sucks. they still scare me some even though im pretty use to them by now...

I have an anxiety disorder, but its an everyday occurence rather than on just the monthly gift. Yes that is panic attack sympton, but there are many others as well. Such as heart pounding, dizzyness, cold sweat, the feeling like you going to pass out, buzzing in the head, etc.\n\nSo when you get these feeling an you begin to worry about when it going to happen next and then that can lead to an anxiety disorder. But my question is; where is this anxiety coming from?, is there a specific worry or thought that the attack is centered around. If it becomes to much to handle, or worse go talk to a doctor and see what happening. I wish I can help you more but that odd that it only happens when you get the ole mighty gift. I wish you luck hun.

People often feel very anxious during a heart attack. Yes, the blood pressure and heart rate definitely can go up.

I believe it is called night terrors.  Sounds physical and psychological.  Stress and worry can lead to nightmares as well as any recent traumatic/major life events such as the death of a loved one, etc.  Or, maybe you shouldn't eat pizza right before going to bed.  Just kidding.  Go see a Doctor.  Good luck.

I have the feeling sometimes that my heart "skips" a beat.  It's like thump, thump, thump......thump.  I asked my doctor about it, he checked things out with an EKG, etc...and said that it is most likely just normal for me.  It can be brought on by periods of anxiety or stress...try decreasing caffeine.  BUT MOST IMPORTATNLY, IF YOU HAVEN'T CHECKED WITH A DOCTOR YET...DO SO, MAKE SURE ITS NORMAL FOR YOU.

Oh, yes, this is fun one.  What is happening is that sometimes when you are falling asleep, as your heart rate lowers and your muscles relax and your breathing slows, your brain thinks, just for a split second, that you are dying (you can see the similarities).  As a "check," your brain sends a test signal to your major muscle groups, causing them to spasm and you to jolt awake.  It is more likely to happen if your brain doesn't "think" you should be sleeping- like sitting up at a desk, for example, or if your internal stress levels are high at the end of the day.  I know it sounds crazy, but it really is a defense mechanism.  If you really were in danger, your body would not react to the test signal, and your brain would go into "fight or flight" mode to try and save your life.

I SEE MY SELF RUNNING SCARED. WHAT I would FEEL? THE WALL THAT I WILL  SLAM IN TO WHEN I RUN SCARED IN THE DARK |-(

Oh wow, I get that all the time. Usually it is because you haven't had enough sleep, or because you are too tired. We do this out of protection, but it can be a very scary thing.

I have to agree with most of the posts here...does sound like panic attacks or really bad anxiety flare ups.  Have you ever checked your blood pressure while this happens?  Also, do you palms begin to perspire?  Do you have any feelings like you are doomed and maybe going to die when this happens?  These are typical questions asked regarding panic attacks.  Also, does this happen after doing anything in particular, like exerting yourself in some way?  Or does it perhaps happen when you've ate something particularly sweet, and if so have you ever had your blood sugar level checked?  There are several reasons this could be happening to you, so I would recommend getting a medical check-up and go from there...good luck.

I'm no stranger to this problem...\n\nIt feels like you are walking around in a fog, like nothing is truely "real" as you would normally feel it.  You feel like you could pass out at any second but at the same time you can force yourself to go on for quite a while without doing so.  It really takes a lot out of you and takes a lot to recover from.  You'll need quite a few good solid nights of sleep to completely get over it.

Is your heart racing when it hurts? Are you feeling anxious or stressed?  Could be anxiety-make a doctor appointment to be sure.
