Wolff Parkinson’s White
So...I am 9 weeks pregnant, I have two little girls already who are 6 & 8 and are very healthy. I am 26 and was just diagnosed with WPW a couple months back. I have GAD, GERD, & now this apparently. I am genuinely concerned not only for my life but for my unborn babies life and how this condition is going to effect my pregnancy and my laboring etc. I have went to a cardiologist, he calls it pattern instead of syndrome, and he said that he’s not concerned about it, he did a holter monitor for 48 hours, WPW was not present the entire time and I did have one episode of fast heart rate at around 150 beats per minute but only for 5 beats, and an instance of palpitation. Due to my anxiety, pantoprazole for GERD, now WPW, and now I’m pregnant, I have been having palpitations that are either my heart skipping a beat that last anywhere from 2 sec-5 sec or I will experience a strong beating sensation in my chest, head, and neck and that can last anywhere from 10 min-30min. Caffeine does not exaggerate my symptoms, as I only have one cup in the morning and it’s iced. My OB doesn’t have much knowledge in WPW so I’m just really really concerned. My anxiety makes me feel like i am just going to either have a heart attack, or die during labor/pregnancy etc. I just want to know if anyone has experience with this condition, or any of my mentioned conditions and it causes what I experience. I just feel lost and hopeless at this point. Being pregnant is supposed to be a happy time, but I just feel miserable and stuck in my own head.
