Is this a early pregnancy symptom or am I going nuts

[Bethany1990]

I'm only 4 weeks pregnant but symptoms I have are swore nipples (normal) but Iv got the worst heart palpitations it sometimes frightening. Iv got pcos and have been on metforformin for about 5 days so maybe it's the tablets or is it a normal symptom so early on. This will be my third pregnancy my last 2 pregnancy I had miscarriaged I know I'm very early on I'm trying not to worry or stress but my heart palpitations have me scared. Hopefully this is a symptom and I'm not going mad lol

I would advise any cardiac issues like palpitations should be brought to your GP's attention. They can run a quick ECG to make sure your heart is working as it should, then they will be able to find a cause for the palpitations.

I've never heard of pregnancy itself causing them but a lot of medications can, it could also be rising hormone levels and the medication having a different effect.

No harm in speaking to your GP about it Monday.

I had this early on with my second pregnancy, also terrified me!
Definitely speak with your GP, I had them a few times but nothing after about 8 weeks, then it was horrendous sickness....
Do let your GP know though, the ECG was very reassuring.

I've just turned 5 weeks pregnant and I feel like I have heart palpitations too even though I'm just sitting here. I'm really aware of my heart beating it's so bizarre and if I run up the stairs I go so out of breath like I need to have a moment to get my breathing back to normal.. must just be a weird symptom but it's probably nothing. I'm trying not to worry too much as it will probably make it worse worrying

I’ve checked my pulse and it seems to stop for a tiny second then I get a flutter in my chest 🙈 Iv been reading on post on google it’s a early pregnancy symptom iv never heard of it before I felt more reassured reading posts thanks everyone for replying I’ll see GP just to be on the safe side

I get maternal tachycardia when pregnant which results in palpitations and fluttering feelings in the chest. Definitely visit the GP GP to get checked out. I've had many ECGs, a chest x-ray and an ultrasound which were all clear. Scary when you feel your heart racing though!

Yeah I’m there Wednesday for bloods aswell So I’ll wait till then unless it gets worse x

I new knee it was a pregnancy symptom untill tonight considering how early I am I dnt think u got any till end of first trimester x

It is mines mainly lying in bed u would think it was more when I was at work on the go ect but it’s when I’m resting I’m a bit nervous of going to bed x

I had palpitations when I was first pregnant. I think it's something to do with extra blood or something.
