Everyday Wellness: Midlife Hormones, Menopause, and Science for Women 35+ · Ep. 531 Your Heart’s Not Just Skipping Beats – The Shocking Truth About Palpitations in Women | Women's Cardiovascular Health with Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj · 20 Dec 2025 podcast

that cause the wiring to go in kind of a roundabout movement we call it a circus movement and that can fire fast fast fast fast heartbeats all the time um you can have a premature beat that starts on the top of the heart and sends it down so so and sends the impulse down

You can have a premature beat from the bottom of the heart that sends electricity up.

So there's a lot of different things at play.

And as a result, there are a lot of different ways that they can go wrong.

And there's a lot of things that you can do to get them right.

But, you know, one of the things that I realized, and I think in our last conversation, we talked about that little LDL bump that you get around perimenopause.

What can happen is that as we see hormonal fluctuations, that can actually affect the electrical system of our heart at a very microscopic level.

And so inside our hearts, inside of these wires, we don't have a little nine volt battery sitting there, but we have pumps that are moving ions back and forth like sodium and potassium and magnesium and calcium and all these different things.

And as we get hormonal shifts, you can get dysfunctions of those pumps.

And that was the research that I did, you know, 100 million years ago in the hormonal fluctuations of these ion channels.

And so it stands to reason that a lot of women around the time of menopause, perimenopause are dealing with sleep issues and hair issues and joint aches and all these things.

But one of the manifestations of that perimenopause can be palpitations from these ion channel problems that get created.

Yeah.

And so that's when you go into that dangerous bucket from the annoying.

So lightheadedness, dizziness, passing out, feeling you're going to pass out or actually passing out.

We call those near syncope or syncope.

I don't like those.

Those are always kind of scary episodes, like episodic symptoms that are unpredictable.

So I had a woman, female patient.

This was probably about 10 years ago who came to me for an unrelated issue.
