Does anyone have a hard & fast pulse or heart rate when you stand up?

Question

Lately I've been feeling like I can barely stand without feeling like I need to sit back down. Every time I stand my heart begins to race and my pulse is hard and feels fast. I feel like I'm going to fall out. I feel winded! I've told my doctor about this and she says its completely normal!! She said its called heart palpitations. This doesn't sound normal to me. I can barely function on daily tasks without feeling like I'm dying!! I'm 23 weeks pregnant.Does anyone else experience this?

Answer

It happens every once in a while to me. Strong pulse and increased heart rate are symptoms of pregnancy. Increased blood flow and support for growing baby. For me I make sure im hydrated, lay down on my left side, no large meals and just relax. If you experience it with symptoms shortness of breath, chest pain, arm/jaw weakness or other symptoms I would be concerned. This is my experience but remember listen to your body and always consult with your provider.

Answer

Yes! Al the time! I was trying to tell a joke today and could barely deliver the punch line. It was a good one too.

Answer

Yes very normal. My resting heartrate is usually around 100 during pregnancy and elevated to 110s when I stand

Answer
