hello doctor,
i m very happy to tell u that i m pregnant. Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But last neight i had rapid heartbeat it was 2-3 times than normal. i was feeling like my heart is coming out. actualy i used to have this kinda problem when i wasnt pregnant.
like difficulty in breath. 3-4 years before doctor gave me anxiety medicine. ( not regular i used to take when i need) Still i have it.

Hello,

It could be harmful to the baby in that it may be harmful to you.  Talk to your ob/gyn about these symptoms.  They can initiate an evaluation. You should also be seen by a cardiologist at some point (sooner rather than later).  Depending upon what is found treatment may or may not be required.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing
