Dr. Kyrin Dunston

Hey everybody, it's Dr. Kyrin. Welcome back to another episode of the Hormone Prosperity Coach. So glad that you're joining me today as we dive into a question from Trina who says another symptom post menopause. Anyone else experience irregular heartbeat with menopause? It scares me. It should scare you, Trina. This is big, huge problem. It's not uncommon though, one of those 60 plus symptoms of midlife metabolic mayhem that we women might have to contend with. So with estrogen dropping progesterone, dropping testosterone, dropping oftentimes cortisol dysfunction, insulin dysfunction, thyroid, DHEA, right? These are the seven main metabolic hormones we've got to contend with that inform hormonal poverty or hormonal prosperity and inform all our cells and all our systems to be healthy and thriving and growing and healing or deteriorating and cause getting ready to cause us problems that we may not know about it yet. So estrogen in particular, but all of these hormones have a role in every cell, in every system in your body, including your arteries that carry the blood throughout your body, from your heart to every cell in your brain, to every cell in your feet, to every cell in your precious abdominal cavity, chest cavity, everywhere, very intimately involved with artery function.

Dr. Kyrin Dunston

This is why menopause is associated. So lack of estrogen is associated with increased risk of the number one cause of death of women over 50, which is heart disease and heart attack. We're all worrying about breast cancer over here. Meanwhile, our body is like, Hey, pay attention to your heart and you're having an irregular heartbeat. So this could be a sign, Trina, that your arteries around your heart are being affected and it could be affecting the conduction system in your heart. Your heart is an electrical apparatus. Yep, it's electrical and that's why it has this internal electrical system that causes it to pump, pump, pump every day of your life. It pumps from about five weeks of birth. We can see it on an ultrasound all the way till you take your last breath, and then usually even a little bit farther if you haven't died from a heart attack, it still will pump depending on the cause of death.

Dr. Kyrin Dunston

It does its job. Sun, moon, shine. It doesn't care rainy, sunny deadlines. It doesn't. It just pumps. It does its job well, it needs to be nourished properly. And one of the things it needs is estrogen, but it also needs all the other hormones probably that your doctor isn't talking to you about that I wanna make sure you know about your insulin, thyroid, cortisol, DHEA, progesterone, testosterone. Your heart depends on all of these. So you need to go to your doctor. You need to start at least probably with an EKG. Now, I'm not your doctor. And this is just for educational purposes. So anything that you have a health concern about, please go see your doctor. What we do here is not, does not replace medical advice. So you need to talk with your doctor about what you're having. They probably will start with your evaluation with an EKG electrocardiogram to see if there are any abnormalities.

Dr. Kyrin Dunston

But if not, they'll probably put you on a Holter monitor to track your heartbeats over a 24 hour period and then have a reading to see if maybe there's something they missed on the EKG. 'cause The EKG is only for a few seconds in time. The Holter monitor is about 24 hour period, or they might do a echocardiogram to look at how your heart is functioning, how the ventricles are emptying, are they emptying properly? Is the blood flowing through your heart properly? Or they might do other imaging tests depen...
