Anyone else having heart palpitations?

Question

I am currently wearing an EKG heart monitor for 24 hours. My heart randomly will experience 10-15 minute long palpatations. Meaning my heart rate will raise extremely high, feels like its pounding out of my chest (like I've had 3 energy drinks), cannot breathe much during, and chest tightness. 
The cardiologist said it can be common in pregnant women. As the heart is pumping blood for 2, and the placenta, it can overwork itself and become swollen, creating palpitations (a heart panic attack). Any one else experience these? Or no? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Yes. I also had an EKG done but in the end I'm ok and it's just all the extra blood my heart is pumping due to pregnancy. I know exactly what you're going through. It seriously sucks. Hang in there.

Answer

I noticed that I started getting them after switching to a different prenatal that was recommended by my doctor (I’m borderline low iron). I would get them approximately 30 minutes every day after taking my prenatal. After stopping them and switching back to my old ones, the racing heart went away.

Answer

Yes, same time every morning for about 2 weeks. My doc said to take 500mg of magnesium and to schedule an appt with a cardiologist if they don’t go away in a week. My heart still feels like it’s working hard but palpitations are totally gone with the magnesium. 🙌🏼

Answer

Yes and have been trying to decide if I needed to call my doctor! 
I've randomly had a resting heart rate of 115+. 
Did your doctor give you any more info?

Answer

I’ve had them for years. They definitely get worse during pregnancy. This has been my worse pregnancy with them, but I’m definitely not experiencing anything close to what you have. That sounds scary. Longest I think I’ve experienced was like a minute. Normally I just get one random one here and there though

Answer

Same as all the other comments! I had them during my second trimester but my 24 hour ekg came back normal along with my echo. Glad you’re getting checked just in case though!!

Answer

I get them every day

Answer

I had the same during my last pregnancy and had to wear the monitor for a month and also got an echo. Everything was fine for me.

Answer

Felt the same and had an EKG and an heart Ultrasound and everything came back normal. And as you mentioned the doctor said it's normal in pregnancy
