wondering if palpitation im experiencing today is due to the menstrual cycle

[22:20] Dr.Albana Greca : Welcome! How can I help with your medical question?
[22:23] Visitor: I am experiencing palpitation and I’ve been doctors and got tested and they
all said it’s fine

[22:24] Visitor: i am supposed to start my period tomorrow and i was wondering if palpitation im experiencing today is due to the menstrual cycle
[22:25] Visitor: Yes, sometimes hormonal changes during menstrual cycle can cause heart
palpitations
[22:25] Dr.Albana Greca : Especially in anxious patients
[22:25] Visitor: : will taking birth control pills help with these symptoms? i have been taking
them for about two years and i stopped taking them about 6 months ago and i developed heart palpitation
[22:26]  Visitor: I do not think so. However check thyroid function together with anemia through
CBC

[22:28] Visitor: could my palpitation be caused by taking birth control for about two years? bc ive never experienced this prior to that
[22:28] Dr.Albana Greca : No, may I know your age?
[22:28] Visitor: 27
[22:28] Dr.Albana Greca : Do you use caffeinated drinks or energetic drinks?
[22:29] Visitor: : i stopped drinking coffee and caffeinated tea
[22:29]Visitor: because i was having some stomach issue too
[22:29] Visitor: after stop taking birth control
[22:29] Dr.Albana Greca : Ok now this is another issue
[22:29] Dr.Albana Greca : Stomach issues are always associated with heart palpitations
[22:30] Dr.Albana Grecai : Especially when it comes to acid reflux
[22:30] Visitor: so this palpitation is not because of hormonal change  because of acid reflux?
[22:31] Dr.Albana Greca : Both can be possible factors
[22:31] Dr.Albana Greca: That’s why I recommended to run hormonal tests
[22:32] Visitor: ok. in the case of stomach acid reflux, the acid reflux causes the palpitation or the heart causing stomach issues?
[22:32] Dr.Albana Greca : Now, acid reflux can cause heart palpitations
[22:32] Dr.Albana Greca : Hormonal changes can cause heart palpitations
[22:33] Dr.Albana Greca : And on the other hand hormonal changes can aggravate stomach issues
[22:33] Visitor: and is it safe to say taking and stopping birth control pill did not have effect to stomach issues?
[22:35] Dr.Albana Greca : Birth control pills can have effect only on regulating the hormonal imbalance
[22:35] Dr.Albana Greca : We cannot use to treat heart palpitations
[22:36] Dr.Albana Greca : We should look for the right cause first
[22:36] Dr.Albana Greca : Then take appropriate action
[22:36] Visitor: ok. i will have those checked out with my pcp. thank you
[22:37] Dr.Albana Greca : Ok don’t forget to send the reports to me
