Is it normal to have high heart rate during pregnancy?

Question

I've noticed my heart rate feels a bit faster than usual since I got pregnant, even when I'm just resting. Is it common to have a high heart rate during pregnancy?

Haan, pregnancy me blood volume badhta hai toh heart rate thoda fast feel hota hai. Par agar bohot zyada lag raha hai ya dizziness ho rahi hai, toh gynac se consult karna sabse best hai na. Take care!

Yes, your body is working double-time for the little one! 🥰 Just sit down, sip some water, and relax. But definitely mention it to your doctor in your next checkup to stay safe. 👍

I know how scary every little symptom can feel, especially when your heart starts racing. Please don't take any chances or wait too long if you are feeling very uncomfortable. Just call your doctor or visit the clinic to get peace of mind.

Whenever my heart used to beat fast, my husband would say it's because I got too excited seeing my golgappas! But seriously, if it happens even when you're just resting, check with your gynac once to be safe.

Actually, our heart has to pump almost 50% more blood during pregnancy, so a slightly higher pulse is medically normal. However, you shouldn't self-diagnose. It's always best to get your BP and pulse checked by your gynac to rule out any issues.

I used to practice deep breathing and sit quietly with a glass of warm water when my heart raced slightly. But please remember, if you feel breathless or very uneasy, don't rely on home remedies. Direct doctor ko call karke pucho.

Mera bhi heart rate kaafi high feel hota tha toh meri saas ne bola thoda seedhe baith kar aaram karo aur deep breaths lo. Par we also checked with our doc in the next visit just to be absolutely sure.
