A member asked:

How bad can heart palpitations be for a woman going through menopause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Severe : But, there are other causes of palpitations that may be related to the heart and have nothing to do with hormonal changes. Irregular rhythms of the heart is a major cause of palpitations and they can be serious. See your healthcare provider/cardiologist for an ekg and cardiac evaluation.
