Tachy during Pregnancy
I am 7 weeks along and am on 25mg of Toprol. And recently have been having high heart rates in the morning of 100 to 110. Is this dangerous during pregancy esp starting off so early. My OB may want to increase the toprol. Im scared of ending up on high doses of it!
Hi, I just saw your post, and I know its been a few years, but did you ever find out what was causing those symptoms? I have the same exact things you described, and when I feel out of touch with my surroundings, I almost feel like I'm in someone elses skin or something, its really weird. I am aproximently 13-14 weeks pregnant, and my heart rate was usually 80. but the past two days its has been jumping to 90-105. Please let me know if you can help
It seems to me like you girls know alot about heart rate and that sort of thing during pregnancy so I am hoping maybe you can help me. I am 35 weeks pregnant. My normal, atleast for pregnancy & past couple weeks, heart has been about 80-84 beats per minute. Lucky for me I am able to monitor my blood pressure and heart rate ( my mother has hypertension severely & has to monitor hers so she has been trained on how to take it and takes mine for me). I have been feeling horrible for a couple weeks. I get "spells" daily, I feel out of sync with my surroundings, extremely tired and weak, dizzy, pressure in my head and ears, sometimes naseauted, sometime shortness of breathe, cant think or focus, and my heart feels like its racing. For a couple days now everytime I get a spell, check my blood pressure/heart rate. My blood pressure stays the same ( generally 109 over 65) but my heart rate jumps up anywhere from 10-30 beats extra ( 94-116). The worse I feel the higher my heart rate. My heart will also skip a beat or two here and there. I dont know if its my spells that cause my heart rate to go up or heart rate thats causing the spells. Im not even sure if this something I should worry about. Can anyone explain this to me?
Should have mentioned before, I was on Toprol before I got pregnant. I have high heart rates after I eat. Regular Doctor found nothing wrong. So I was taking 12.5mg of Toprol. OB raised it to 25mg when my heart rate stayed above 100 every day. Mostly in the mornings. He said to give it a while, and if it doesnt subside he will send me to a cardio doc. But thank you for the post, helped me calm down. Just worried the high heart rate will harm the baby. My heart rate only gets about 110 as the max until I take my Toprol at lunch.
Thanks.
Thanks.
also one more thing the heart also works the hardest in the mornings and beats faster for everyone, and being pregnant u will notice it even more. I would stress again ask for a referral to heart doctor, ur ob should have already done this if not I may assume maybe u need to change. ( worked in Ob and pediatrics ect... )
I was tachy during pregnancy as a matter of fact it was so tachy thoought i was gonna have to call 911. The Dr. says that some woman pass out and get tachy at times. I have a fast heart rate at all times but for urs to be 100 wont hurt u or the baby. Im suprised the doctor has u on toprol, did he consult a heart doctor to wear a monitor or any thing. I would might get a second opinion, if the OB put u on toprol then id defenetly wanna see a heart doctor first.
i know my heart rate increased during pregnancy from the begining. mine was normally in the high 50's to low 60's before pregnancy and went to the mid 90's during. that is resting. all returned to normal afterwards.
