Lately my heart starts racing even when im just sitting or after climbing few stairs, im around 5 months. It feels strange and makes me a little anxious. Is this a normal pregnancy thing? want to mention it to my gynac also.
For me the fast heartbeat was linked to my thyroid, so I would say get those levels checked. Regular follow up caught it. If its happening a lot, mention it at your next visit.
My gynac said your blood volume increases a lot in pregnancy so the heart works harder, hence the faster beat. She said its common but they check for anemia or thyroid if it feels too much. Mine settled once my iron improved.
I used to feel my heart racing and immediately think the worst. Doc said its normal in pregnancy mostly, but if it comes with breathlessness or chest pain to tell them. That reassurance helped me calm down.
Occasional fast beat is common, but if its with dizziness or breathlessness pls inform your gynac. Better to rule out anemia or BP. Dont ignore repeated episodes.
