Is this normal, I'm getting them on and off and they are driving me crazy on top of the sickness
Has anyone else had these?

I wouldn't say it's normal. Think you need to get it checked out asap.

I had these up until about 24 weeks. They peaked around 10-20 weeks and doc said it was completely normal for me. It was the increased blood volume and flow.
I would get dizzy then hot then have the most awful feeling of panic.

It is worth checking though as what is normal for some isn't always for others.

I've just called NHS Direct and a nurse will call me back within 2 hours, I'll keep you updated. Thanks ladies xxx

Yes, do let us know how you get on x

I had them terribly in pregnancy, it is however completely normal and due to the extra blood flow and work your heart is doing. I would still get it checked out as it will give you peace of mind if anything. I have suffered for years with them and still gets me in a panic sometimes even though I have had all sorts of tests.

I have also experienced this on early pregnancy. In my case ot was shortlived and only happened in the early weeks of the first trimester. I hope you are being reassured by the NHS nurse.
Do you happen to have a mitral valve prolapse?

Got sent to A&E by NHS Direct, had a lot of tests and bloods but everything is fine. Just got to keep an eye on it. Thanks for the advice xx
