Question about PMS/AF

This question might seem weird to all of you but do any of you get heart palpitations a week or so before your AF is due? I've been trying to get pregnant for a year and a half and seemed to have always had bad pms that included irritability/mood swings etc but now for the past 2 months, i've been experiencing bad heart palpitations at about 8 dpo. I am starting to think maybe this is hormonal. I am currently not on any fertility drugs. If i get my period this month, i will start clomid and do an IUI next cycle per my RE. Last month, i went to the dr and got an EKG and all kinds of tests done and he basically said they are nothing to worry about and even prescribed me xanax thinking it was a stress related thing.they went away about 3 days later but now they are back exactly a month later at the same time in my luteal phase. Any one else have this experience?

I feel like my heart is beating faster when I get anxiety attacks.  Maybe the hormones at that time of month are causing anxiety attacks.  You can get these even when there is nothing in particular you are anxious about.  I didnt always have them either.  They started about 7 years ago

Wow...that's weird. I've never experienced heart palpitations at any certain time during my cycle, but I'm definitely no expert ;-)

Anyone else experience this?
