Can Heart Palpitations, and high blood pressure be a symptom of Premenapause?

I have had heart palpitations mostly at night for about a week. I went to the doctor, and my heart rate was 102, and blood pressure was 140/84. EKG results were normal. One hour later I retook blood pressure on machine at longs, and it was 121/89, and heart rate was 90. A women there told me it could be because I was starting menapause????????

Actually I do think there is a connection between the heart palpitation and menopause (pre or not).
Read here:
Have you ever woken up to realize that your heart is beating relentlessly? Can you sometimes feel your heart skipping a beat, or racing for no reason whatsoever? If you are a woman between 35 and 55, you could be experiencing common a symptom of perimenopause, which is the stage just before menopause. The majority of pre-menopausal women experience some sort of menopause symptoms, ranging from the mild to the intense. One of the most common symptoms of menopause is the hot flash, which is often accompanied by heart palpitations.

What are Heart Palpitations
If you are consciously aware of your heart beating, you are probably having a heart palpitation. Also known as an irregular heartbeat or cardiac arrhythmia, heart palpitations can afflict anyone at anytime, but heart palpitations and menopause usually go together.
