Oprah Winfrey has spoken up about her struggle to find answers from medical professionals regarding a common perimenopause symptom. As per Today.com, Oprah said that despite experiencing heart palpitations in her late 40s, doctors never informed the 69-year-old media mogul that this could be related to entering menopause. She shared her frustrating experience during a panel conversation about menopause, which aired on April 5 on OprahDaily.com. It wasn't until Oprah stumbled upon a book that she learned about the link between heart palpitations and perimenopause. She saw five different doctors, including a female doctor who performed an angiogram and prescribed heart medication without ever considering menopause as a potential cause.&nbsp;

"I never had a hot flash in my life. Never had one ... but I started (menopause) at 48 with heart palpitations. And I went from doctor to doctor, literally five different doctors. At one point, a female doctor had given me, first of all, an angiogram and put me on heart medication and never once mentioned that this could be menopause or perimenopause," she said.&nbsp;

Oprah shared that she stumbled upon the fact that heart palpitations could be a symptom of perimenopause by chance. She was in her office one day and came across a book that had information on the topic.

"I just happened to be in the office one day and opened a book and saw 'heart palpitations symptoms of perimenopause,'" she added.&nbsp;

Oprah has been very open about her health issues throughout her career, using her platform to raise awareness and encourage others to prioritise their health. She has spoken publicly about other health issues before.

In 2007, she revealed that she had battled thyroid issues for years and that her weight had been affected as a result. She has also shared that she struggles with high blood pressure and has made changes to her diet and lifestyle to manage it.

Furthermore, Oprah has been vocal about her history of sexual abuse and how it has impacted her mental health. She has used her platform to raise awareness about the importance of mental health and has shared her own experiences with depression and anxiety.

Oprah Winfrey reveals her doctors ignored a common heart-related menopause symptom

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry sat down for an exclusive with popular chat show host Oprah Winfrey and spilled details for the first time on their decision to step back from royal duties and the events leading up to it.&nbsp;

To start with, Meghan Markle addressed the rumours around making her sister-in-law Kate Middleton cry, days before the royal wedding. Meghan spoke for the first time on the much-controversial matter that was headlines for several days that Kate and Meghan dont gel together because of a tiff that took place before Meghan-Harry wedding.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/meghan-markle">Meghan</a> said, "That was a turning point” and added, "The reverse happened."

"A few days before the wedding she (Kate) was upset about something, pertaining to yes the issue was correct about the flower girl dresses, and it made me cry. And it really hurt my feelings. There wasn't a confrontation and I don't think it's fair&nbsp;to get into the details of that because she apologised, and I have forgiven her. What was hard to get over was being blamed for something that not only I didn't do, but that happened to me,” she added.&nbsp;

Meghan said she had been naive before her wedding and did not realise what she was marrying into when she joined the British royal family.

"I will say I went into it naively, because I didn't grow up knowing much about the royal family," Meghan said.

In another major revelation, Meghan told Oprah that she and <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/prince-harry">Harry</a> wed in secret, three days before the official ceremony. "Three days before our wedding, we got married," she said, revealing that they swapped vows in private before Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welsby ahead of the televised spectacle on May 19 2018 at Britain's Windsor Castle.

"No one knows that. But we called the archbishop, and we just said, 'Look, this thing, this spectacle is for the world, but we want our union between us.'"
