Twins with very different heart rates?

This is my 2nd time in a twin pregnancy (last time it turned into a singleton around 8 weeks-info in siggy) and I am worried this one is going to do the same.  Has anyone ever had a similar situation and all was okay? I already know this will probably not end well for one baby, but any encouraging stories are appreciated. I'll just copy and paste from my post on PAIF:
Should there be such a big difference in Baby A and Baby B? I am worried this is going to turn out light last time, where one twin didn't have a heart beat anymore at the 4th ultrasound.  Last time (2013) one baby was behind a week (in siggy) and this time Baby A is 7w6d with FHR of 131.58 while Baby B is 8 weeks at 159.57.  I get such anxiety each week for these ultrasounds....
And this chart concerns me
Week 7 starts at 126 and ends at 149
Week 8 starts at 149 and ends at 172

    Sorry to hear about the loss of one of your twins. I truly hope this pregnancy results in two little healthy miracles for you. If it helps, throughout my pregnancy, my DS' rate was generally in the 130s and my DD's was in the 150s. Both born early at 34 weeks but happy & generally healthy. T&P to you!

    I'm so sorry for you loss. 
    This might not be much help because I don't remember the exact numbers, but one of mine always had a faster heart beat than the other. From the very 1st ultrasound to the day they were born, A's was always faster.
