Why Am I Having Hot Flashes, Skipping Heart Beats During Peri-menopause?

I am a 51 year old female with Type 1 diabetes and asthma. I feel fine save for hot flashes which are peri-menopause and this morning I had skipping heart beats and now again it is happening now...eight hours later. My heart beats 5-10 beats and then skips a beat, then a few more beats regular, skips again. My pulse rate is 86, I had a meal 90 minutes ago and my bp was 125 over 71. My weight is 166.

Diabetologist 's  Response
first and foremost
my congratulations for giving a good idea of your problem
you have diabetes and asthma
i am assuming that both are normal and under control
however from the query i fail to gain what medications you are on

as for skipping heart beats
i think you shoudl have an ecg tested and a holter monitor better still
besides have your sugars tested (if not tested)
low or high sugars can also cause trouble

besides have a kft tested
diabetics very often develop kidney disease
so that should be evaluated regularly

i would prefer you to get the test reports done
thereafter we can probably give you some advice as per the reports and the problem diagnosed

lets hope nothing significant turns up
and we have to think of some benign condition like anxiety

best of luck
