Palpitations after delivery
by Ryanne, Oct 11, 1999 12:00AM
I'm 20 and I just had twins. Every since they came home I have had intense palpitations. Right now my pulse is 210 bpm. I know this is not normal. I have never had any heart problems before. I'm just wondering if anyone else had this problem. What can I do about this problem? What tests would they do to find out what is wrong with me?

210 is a bit high and probably needs to be checked out by your doctor to make sure there is not a reason (i.e infection, etc) other than post-partum hormonal and fluid shift changes for your tachycardia.
