Seeing pulse in my eyes

I’m around 11 weeks pregnant and occasionally I notice my eyes are moving to the rhythm of my heart. Usually, it’s when my heart rate is elevated slightly (e.g running up a flight of stairs). I’ll sit down and feel like I can see my own heart beat in my eyes. My vision beats!

Is this normal? Does anyone else experience this?

It’s normal for people who aren’t pregnant but who exert themselves too.

I see it all the time after going upstairs, I have low BP generally so it’s the extra effort.

Get your blood pressure checked, just in case.

I don't know if it is normal, but I have it in pregnancy. I also hear my pulse in my ears and get dizzy easily. I have unusually low BP and all of the weird blood stuff that can happen in pregnancy.

Hmm I had my blood pressure checked a couple of weeks ago and if anything it was slightly high.

It's so weird! Glad it’s not just me @EMcG3 😁

Had this is pregnancy too but all was fine. Do get checked though in case blood pressure is up.

I would get a GP appointment tomorrow for a BP check in case it's highSmile
