dangerous heart rate

Hey mammas I'm in my third trimester and spent 9 hours in the er because my resting heart rate was 120! But my blood pressure was 110/60. My BP stayed low but my heart rate would sky rocket! The doctors had no idea what was goin on. Anyone know anything that could help

I had 3 ekg's they said everything was lookin ok but they couldn't slow the rate down. and thankfully there was no signs of the baby being in stress. And a resting heart rate is ment to be between 60-100 . I need to follow up with my family doctor.

I actually didn't realise that was bad. I check my bp at home twice a day and mine has recently been around 120-130. What is it supposed to be?

I have palpitations that go over 240. They diagnosed me with paroxysmal atrial tachycardia.  I suggest seeing a cardiologist ASAP and getting an ekg.

Maybe baby is putting to much pressure on your heart....only thing I can think of, I would think they would keep monitoring you and possibly want to induce you if they got too concerned about you or your baby x
