Hi
I'm 11 + 4 and this week I've been having lots of heart palpitations. Should I be worried? I know that the heart works harder and I have more blood volume in pregnancy.
I just told mr lime and he is really worried. They are coming every few minutes and really annoying. Mostly when I'm resting on sofa or trying to sleep.
Before I was pregnant I had a few palpitations and actually got tested. I had to wear a 24 hour thing and it did pick up a few of the missed beats. Doc said it was normal to have a few. If it was hundreds I'd need further tests. I think I had 2 in total and he just told me to avoid alcohol, eat healthy, don't smoke, avoid stress etc.
Trouble is last few weeks I've been super stressed at work. Is this what is causing the palps? Or is it just a pregnancy thing?
Mr lime wants to take me to hospital. I'm worried! Anyone had these palpitations?
