Lately I feel my heart beating faster even when im just sitting or after small work. Im 4 months along. Is this a normal pregnancy change or something I should mention to my gynac?
My doctor explained the blood volume goes up a lot in pregnancy, so the heart rate naturally rises a bit. She said mild palpitations are common. She just told me to flag it if it came with chest pain or fainting feeling.
I panicked every time I felt my heart flutter, I overthink everything. My gynac reassured me it is the extra blood volume and totally normal. Just dont ignore it if you feel faint or breathless, then call them.
Yes, your heart pumps more blood now so a slightly faster heartbeat is normal. I noticed it especially climbing stairs. But if it races a lot, with breathlessness or dizziness, tell your doctor.
