Should I be concerned?

Question

So I am 27w5d pregnant and my resting heart rate was just at 140 (I manually checked). I have been in bed all day due to menstrual like cramps and an awful headache. My chest feels tight and it makes it feel hard to catch my breath. I know that an increased HR during pregnancy is normal but before, mine was in the high 70s to low 80s. Should I be concerned?

Answer

That seems pretty high even for pregnancy. I would call your doctor for advice.

Answer

Mine is usually 100 when not pregnant the highest it’s been in my pregnancy is 135bpm I had chest infection a severe one. Also low iron can cause this to happen as I’ve had that during this pregnancy also. I would ring up triage if u have that n your area and get checked out. Good luck and keep us updated xx
