Lately my heart just starts racing out of nowhere, even when im resting on the bed. Im in my second trimester and never felt this before pregnancy. Is this a normal thing that happens or should i be worried? curious what others felt.
Mine were partly due to thyroid so I kept regular follow ups and got it managed. Sometimes anemia also causes it. Worth mentioning at your next visit and getting your levels checked.
My doctor explained that blood volume increases a lot in pregnancy so the heart works harder, which can feel like palpitations. Low iron can add to it too. She said mild flutters are common but to report it if they come with breathlessness or dizziness.
I used to panic every time my heart raced and that made it worse honestly. Turned out it was mostly normal for me. Try to stay calm but yes do tell your doctor so your mind is at peace.
