Pre eclampsia?

Question

I am 26 weeks pregnant and have noticed that even when I am sitting down doing nothing,my heart will start to race so fast as if I am running. It can last up to a good hour off and on. Is this a normal pregnancy symptom or a sign of pre eclampsia? Maybe I am being paranoid, ftm.

Answer

Your heart racing has nothing to do with preeclampsia. Preeclampsia usually shows with high BP, protein in your irons, and headaches

Answer

That makes me feel better. I need to ask my doctor. I always get so forgetful when I go there. I need to start writing my questions down. 
But thank you though! 😊😊😊

Answer

With all my pregnancies(this is #3), I develop pregnancy induced tachycardia. I’ve had to go to the cardiologist my last two pregnancies and have an ekg to make sure it was nothing wrong with my heart. I’m perfectly healthy. Just something about pregnancy and the way my body handles it that makes me develop tachycardia. My heart rate would sometimes be almost as high as the baby. Mine was slightly due to anemia and the fact that my body was doing a lot more work than a normal pregnancy to push the blood through my body and baby. It was working a lot harder so my heart rate would sometimes be a lot higher. I’d talk to your doctor about it, it’s definitely something to mention. With my first I had it bad, and I did start to develop preeclampsia especially toward the end but I don’t think it was related.
