Peri. Racing heart rate before period

Anyone else get this? What helps? Is it anxiety driven - chicken and egg question as the fast heart rate makes me anxious. Doesn’t last too long. Comes down with a cold drink and breathing exercises. Anything else that helps?

Have you had your iron and thyroid checked?

@PersephoneParlormaid Thanks. Both okay, inc ferritin.

Really noticed last week. Borrowed DH‘s watch. Resting HR went to nearly 100, with some racing at 120/130/140 for no reason for a few days (only a short time - maybe 10 minuto half an hour max). Steadily back to resting at 70 now, 100 when I am up and doing things.
