Need Advice Please!
I am 29 weeks pregnant tomorrow and for the last couple of days, my pulse has gotten very high (up to almost 160 today), I have been dizzy and when my pulse gets that high, I get short of breath and feel like I could pass out at any moment. I called my doctors office earlier, and the nurse didn't seem concerned stating "it's normal for heart rate to be elevated during pregnancy".
I am a nurse and I understand this, however, it has only been happening the last few days and it is NOT "normal" to be up at almost 160 for a pulse even during pregnancy, especially for no known reason (exercise, anxiety, etc.) My question is, has anyone had experience with this? Should I go to the hospital? I'm a FTM and my nursing judgement is cloudy on what to do for myself. Any help would be appreciated!
