Yes, it is one of the symptoms of menopause and is caused by hormonal changes. I had them as well and there is nothing to worry about. I would talk to your doctor about them (some women can have Mitral Valve Prolapse) and it's best to have it checked out, but most women are just fine. Just breath through them and stay calm and they will go away. Caffeine, alcohol and even chocolate can bring them on (stimulants.) If you see your doctor they will probably send you for a heart test (I went for one) and it's mainly to put your mind at ease.
