My heart suddenly starts racing fast even when im just resting and it scares me. Im 7 months along. Im going to bring this up with my gynac for sure but wanted to hear if others went through this too.
Please get this seen by your doctor, racing heart in pregnancy should always be evaluated, not self treated. They will check if it's just the normal pregnancy increase or something needing attention. Don't take any heart medicine on your own.
My doctor explained a slightly faster heart rate is normal in pregnancy because blood volume increases. But if it's frequent, very fast, or with breathlessness or dizziness, she said to come in for an ECG and tests. Treatment depends fully on the cause, so it's a doctor's call.
I used to panic when my heart raced and that made it worse honestly. Some increase is normal but you should still tell your doctor so they confirm it's nothing. Getting it checked actually eased my anxiety, so please do that.
When I felt my heart racing it actually turned out to be linked to my thyroid levels. So definitely get your thyroid and iron checked along with the heart. Regular follow up with the doctor sorted it for me, please go in.
Don't try home remedies for the heart yaar. Some palpitations can come from anaemia or thyroid in pregnancy, which need testing. Stay hydrated, avoid too much caffeine, but for actual treatment your gynac must check it.
