Heart racing and breathless

[tiggy85]

I went for my ECG today and it hasnt reassured me . Nurse did it and then went and got oncall GP in as im quite tachycardic at rest (even though I felt perfectly fine). They kept asking me if I was feeling OK and only to go home if I was feeling OK. I have to go back again next week.

Awww hun that sounds really scary. Wonder if its more of a panic attack kind of thing...as scary for you to wake up feeling like that... def mention it to mw when you have ur next appointment. Iv had one time where I took a migraine pill that didnt agree with me, got palpitations and I thought if I went to sleep I would die...horrible feeling! Yeah Im ok thanks sweets...baby boy moving lots today...hurts a tiny bit when he stretches out to my right side. lol xxx

Yes it was very scary I think it's a bit of anxiety too. I will mention it to my mw on Tue. My little lady hurts me too when she stretches out lol.

Hope your ok today buddy? Xx

I get palpitations that make me breathless for a while and sometimes wake me up, MW said it was normal as our hearts are pumping round a lot more blood and our lungs are getting squashed, she advised me to get checked by the gp just in case which I did and everything is ok.

Things we have to go through hey lol, horrible feeling. I am going to mention it to my mw again on Tue, see what she says.

Hope your ok? Xx

Awwww chick, it only seems to happen to me when I am lying down or I have been on my feet to much. I bet your worried now then? At least they are keeping a close eye on you. Hope next week puts our mind at rest. Let me know xx

Thanks Ruth, am feeling better this afternoon and trying to forget about it - stole a heart rate monitor from work so I can see whats going on when im feeling breathless - very strange as i cant up and walk around and feel fine with a steady HR of 85-90 - even after going up a flight of stairs and such like. Then randomly like this morning when I was sat down watching TV I felt really breathless and took my HR and it was 128! And had several episodes this morning whilst I was sat down! Seems to have passed off now thank god!

Glad your feeling better. Try keep yourself busy then hopefully you will forget out it. I just think its weird that we get these attacks while sitting down. After my worse attack of it thursday night, yesterday I tried not to sit down as i really didn't want it to happen again. Hard to do when my back and hips hurt so much. And ii never had one. very strange. I really don't want it to happen again .. Hope you get it sorted Hun, take care xx

Awwww hope you all feel better!!! I agree with an earlier poster that any breathlessness, chest pain or palpitations should be checked out (in pregnancy or not but ESPECIALLY in pregnancy) I too had blood clots on my lungs in a previous pregnancy, I also have a pre existing heart condition that can cause tachycardia. There are obviously lots of reasons for all of the above during baby, baby pushing on your lungs and ribs, colds, anaemia, hormone changes can cause SVTs (faster than normal heart rate) panic attacks (you don't need to feel anxious to have these) BUT in the slim chance you are like us.... Always always get checked over - good luck xxx

Quite scary to be suffering with it as it can mean so much. I will mention it to my mw on Tuesday. I haven't had an attacks the past two days as I have tried to keep as active as I can. I really don't want it to happen again as Thursday nights attacks was scary . Anyway how are you feeling now? You have been through a lot but I bet it's peace of mind to be in hospital. I bet your not enjoying it though? Take care Hun x
