Heart palpitations as sign of pregnancy?

[fearfactor]

I normally have some heart palpitations, especially at menstruation and ovulation but I am having some now and think I might be pregnant (have some of the other symptoms too).  Has anyone here had heart palps as a sign of pregnancy (I couldn't be over about 3 weeks along right now)?

Me too! I never associated heart palpitations with pregnancy but now that other women have experienced it, just maybe it is! If I was pregnant I wouldn't be that far along, but I'm really hoping to be! Good Luck! :)

Cec1491 - yes, they do scare me.  I don't smoke, barely drink caffeine and don't take anything that could cause them.

Gina - I have been feeling really dizzy too - I hope this is a sign I'm pregnant!

Wow thats so strange...just a couple nights ago...I was starting to fall asleep and than I would get startled and have trouble breathing. I felt my heart and it was beating so fast and than it felt like it was beating abnormally like palpitations...I then started getting really hot and sweaty. I felt dehydrated..so I stood up to get some water and I was so dizzy, I felt like I was going to fall over and faint. This lasted a good hour, I was so scared, I thought my heart was going to stop beating or something, it's never happend to me before. And the strange thing is, my husband & I are ttc. We miscarried on 11/22 and we started trying on 12/3...so now that I am reading this post I am wondering if that was a symptom or sign of early pregnancy?

I have had heart palpitations before also I dont recall having any when I was pregnant. But they have a lot to do with your breathing, Caffeen intake, And smoking.  Also if you take some medcines.
Do you get scared when they happen.. Does it startle you?

It started 11/22 but I've been trying to get pregnant and think I may be - either that, or I'm about to ovulate and that's why the palps are happening.  I also feel faint and hot, like a hot flash going over my whole body when they happen.

I am not sure I have ever heard of heart palpitations as a sign of pergnancy, but when I found out I was pregnant, I did experience some. I don't know if it was from the increased blood flow or my body was just doing a lot at the time, but I did have them for like the first 2 months. I would also get kinda faint and hot when it happend and had to lay down and drink LOTS of water. Honestly I never thought it was completely normal, but because it went away, I didn't do anything about it.
When was your LMP?
