Heart beating realy fast

Sometimes my heart beats reali fast and i get realy out of breath after walkin up the stairs then when it calms down i get a realy bad migraine..is this normal or should i be worried.

Re: Heart beating realy fast

  • Anxiety ? Out of shape ? Dehydration ? Normal pregnancy SOB due to baby pushing organs up? Hypertension? Do you hold your breath while doing something strenuous? It could be so many things plus you didn't mention how far along you are or pre existing medical conditions. Ask your PCP or OB.

  • That could be anything. Everything jones pointed out could all be causes.. There's no way for us to know. If it persists tell ur OB

    This. Talk to your doctor.
  • I am only in 1st tri, but have this when walking up a lot of steps. I am pretty fit and never had this issue before. I mentioned it to my dr and she said she was going to test me to see if I was anemic. Did your dr mention anything?

    it could be because you're heart is working harder pumping blood to you & your LO. it tires easier. also, as baby grows bigger, your lungs become crowded & have less room to expand. it makes you feel out of breath easier. same happens to me when i go up stairs or do any activity other than walking. however, no one here can really give you any medical advice about what to do about it or what it could be 100%. talk to your OB.

    edit: spelling.
  • I work out every day on the elliptical at a pretty intense rate. But walk up a flIght of steps and I may as well sit down as soon as I get up there.
