Is Shingles And Heart Palpitation Related?
I have what I call palpitations now steady all day and evening for approx 2 months.I know it can be part of menopause (I m 53) but I have never had them for this long. I feel that thump feeling but also feel them in my throat.My throat feels like when you have to cry and get a lump in your throat. I had shingles in February and have had this problem severely since then but I don t know if it is related. Can you tell me anything? Thank you.
