How do you minimize palpitations when you are on your period? i have been experiencing palpitations and sometimes it makes it hard to breathe deeply.

Take a deep breath : Try taking a real deep breath and hold it as long as you can to see if the palpitations go away... If you feel dizzy or have fainting episodes, please let your doctor know asap. Good luck!

Obtain a monitor: The first step to evaluating palpitations is to obtain a heart rhythm recording at the time of symptoms. This is referred to as a symptom rhythm correlation. Once this is done the precise cause of your palpitations can be determined and treatment prescribed.
