Heart Palpitations?

Anyone experienced then with pregnancy?  I was just having them, I looked it up and apparently it can be common during pregnancy, and also after eating? I just want to make sure I shouldn't be concerned.  Never experienced them with my other 2 pregnancies.

I have heart palpitations.  They diagnosed me with paroxysmal atrial tachycardia.  It can be quiet serious especially when you are giving birth with all the stress it puts on your body.. I've done 24 hr heart monitors and ekgs. This caused my anemia.

No dizziness, just a little short of breath. I will mention it to my doctor though.

Heart palpitations are common in pregnancy because of your increased blood volume. It also can be related to amemia..anxiety. .etc.I hope you feel better.

I seem to get them as well, I said it to my doctor and they asked if I feel dizzy or faint with them and was put on a heart monitor for a few minutes and everything seemed fine but they seemed to be very worried when I mentioned it so if I was you I'd go get that checked if there is dizziness involved?
