Palpitations and Pregnancy

[Light_A_H]

I have been having heart palpitations for about a year now and I'm 24 years old. I usually get the palpitations before and during my period and when I'm in stressful times. I am worried that in the future when I get pregnant this will affect me.

Appreciate some advise,

Thank you all I guess from what you all said that ill keep having them during pregnancy but wont be dangerous for me or the baby, hope so.

Anyway the cardiologist gave me a medicine that regulates the heart beats. I'm taking it only when i get the palpitations but its not a daily medicine.

Yes I work out daily but it disappears when I'm working out unless when I'm in my period and working out it gets worse but I'm adapting.

Ither way you will be under doctors supervision and they will moniter it so i wouldnt worrie :)

Labor wont make it worse i dont beleive. One of the best ways to stop them is to tense all you musles like you have to poop lol. So mh guess is they wouldnt happen during labor. Could be wrong though.

I get them too for a few years now and is basically stress and anxiety , being pregnant does make it do it more often .. But it has not affected the baby , it does make me scared going to labor and having those palpitations !!

I have svt. And yes pregnancy does effect it i hate to say :( i get them much more often and alot longer. But if you can deal with it for your self it does no harm to the baby :)

I have been having palpitations for a couple of years now (fast heart rate). I an now pregnant and it seems I have heart palpitations more often now but that is because the body is on overload with all the hormones going crazy and fluctuating! It most likely won't affect or harm your child. Do you work out? Why do you get palpitations? Mines due to anxiety.
