I've been having some strange heart palpitations recently so I mentioned it to my doctor today. She listened to my heart and seemed concerned so she referred me to a cardiologist. There's a history of heart problems in my family. My father has had 2 open heart surgeries before 50 years old. His condition is hereditary. I'm very worried and I don't know what's going on. My anxiety is going through the roof and I know that's making it worse. I'm 6 months pregnant and the baby is perfectly healthy so that makes me feel a little better. Some words of encouragement would be much appreciated. I'm freaking out.
