How to control heart palpitations during pregnancy?
Third trimester chal raha hai and suddenly my heart starts racing fast, especially when i lie down at night. It scares me thoda. Will mention to gynac in next visit but wanted to know if any of you faced this too?
Please stay calm, take deep, slow breaths, and trust that everything is fine. But since this is about your heart, do talk to your doctor immediately to check if everything is completely normal. Take care and pray.
I had occasional palpitations too, especially when I was anxious about my upcoming C-section. When it happened, I would immediately lie down on my left side, but I made sure to report it to my doctor, so please consult yours as well.
Palpitations can sometimes be a normal response to the extra blood flow in your body, but they can also indicate issues like anemia or blood pressure changes. Please do not ignore this and get in touch with your doctor as soon as possible for a proper checkup.
Oh, my mother-in-law used to tell me to drink warm water and sit down calmly when my heart raced, but I always kept my doctor informed. Heart palpitations can happen due to increased blood volume, but please do check with your gynac to be absolutely safe, ma.
Personally, I also felt my heart racing occasionally in my second trimester, but I didn't want to take any chances so I only shared it with my doctor. It's really best to let your gynac know about this symptom instead of trying to manage it yourself.
