tachycardia and pregnancy

by lavenderinscence, Nov 02, 2009 08:23AM
I am 23 years old and I am nearly 16 weeks pregnant. I have two other small children. After my second child, I started experiencing terribly forceful and frequent "benign" PVC's and bouts of tachycardia. It sort of calmed down with the help of atenolol and time and i quite taking the atenolol. Now it seems that it is back with a vengeance. My doctor will not prescribe me anything at all that is above a class b during pregnancy for anything at all, which unfortunately for me includes my antidepressants and anti anxiety meds. Now my heart has bouts of beating so very fast that it leaves me feeling dizzy and weak, i've had this spell right now for nearly 2 days straight. my heart is not ever under 125 bpm. I think that's a bit high, and it's starting to really worry me. Does anyone know at which point it becomes dangerous? Any advice at all makes me feel so much better.
