Hello moms! I’m 27 years old pregnant to my 2nd child . I suffer from GAD and I was on Zoloft for a year and most of my symptoms improved anlmost disappeared ,and life got better . I’m 23 weeks pregnant and from about the 18th week of pregnancy , my anxiety went over the roof. I suffer from tachycardia and what I think panic attacks but lately I’m constantly thinking that there’s something wrong with my heart, maybe undiagnosed SVT and not panic attacks ..
the last couple of weeks I’ve been having attacks every other day , mostly at work or when I’m alone in the house. Today I was watching tv and out of the blue I felt lightheaded and my heart started racing , I think 120-130 bpm , I was also having hot flushes.
It came in waves and then after about an hour I was better . I’m so frightened that it’s my heart , I went to the cardiologist and my test were fine but I’ve never had a holter . My blood work and blood pressure is good, but tachycardia is driving me insane. Is it panic attacks or SVT or something else heart related …? Sometimes I also feel it after lunch , but mostly when I’m alone and many times it appears out of the blue , without me thinking of something that makes me anxious.. I don’t want to go to work , or stay alone and I just want to hope that my anxiety won’t harm my baby.. Sorry for my English, I’m Greek . Thanks for your time , please if you have similar experience let me know so I know I’m not alone in this .. it’s terrifying.
