Last week, I was sitting down watching tv, just relaxing when my heart started to beat very fast. I could feel it getting faster and faster. I was thinking, is this a heart attack? It lasted about 2 1/2 minutes. Then, I could feel it peak and then slow down. Scared me a great deal. I was like a few minutesa away from going to ER. Has anyone had anything like this happen?
I will call my doc in the morning. Posted on 11/01/09, 07:11 pm |

I get racing heart all the time. My OB said that it is very common with pregnancy. Her explanation was that it had to do with the fact that there is so much more blood flowing through the body. I know its uncomfortable and disconcerting, but she told me it was very normal. I would talk to your OB just so you feel better about it. Good luck!

I deal with this all the time, especially when pregnant. i have a few issues with my heart and when pg...you have about 30-50% more blood -so hearts can work a little harder than usual. What normally helps me is standing up and bending over letting the blood rush to my head, breath deeply and it should go away...slow deep breaths...if that doesn't work = i lay flat on my back and breath slow and deep and it will regulate. the only caution i have for you is...if you are driving...and it happens...pull off the road because if hearts beat really fast -you could also get short of breath...and you don't want to pass out. first trimester is the worst..because your body is getting used to the extra blood.
