How Primrose & Eve tracks heart palpitations
Primrose & Eve lets you log heart palpitations in two taps, with a five-point severity scale and optional trigger tags — stress, caffeine, alcohol, poor sleep, exercise, heat, food. After three weeks of logging, the app's pattern engine identifies what is making your symptoms better or worse, using the same statistical tests epidemiologists use. Those findings go into a clinical briefing your doctor can read and act on in the time you actually have with them.

How can I track heart palpitations during perimenopause?
Primrose & Eve is designed for exactly this. Log heart palpitations in two taps each day, and after a few weeks the app identifies patterns: whether certain triggers make it worse, whether it clusters at a particular time of day, and how it is trending over time.
