Heart racing type feeling?

missfire · October 2010

The last few days, when I sit down or get a chance to relax, I notice this feeling like my heart is racing. My pulse is normal, and coincidentally I had an appointment at the cardiologist today and there's no issue at all with my heart.

Do you get this feeling -- like butterflies in your chest? Or know what else it could be?

Yeah I get that once in a while. Just this morning actually, but when I felt my pulse it was normal. I tend to feel that way when I haven't been drinking enough water. No idea what it is.

I had this two days ago for no apparent reason. I concluded that it is just my body trying to catch up to all the changes that are happening.

I get this too and attribute it to the fact that I have so much more blood flow right now. My doctor said nothing to worry about unless I start to feel very faint.

I get it all the time. I have been to the cardio and they found nothing wrong but I wore a monitor for 24 hours and i did have quite a few episodes of both rapid heart beat and skipped beats. The dr. has attributed it to my anemia and just being a pregnancy symptom. I'm not supposed to do any over exerting anymore which for me isn't much at this point.

could be either extra blood flowing or anxiety...that is what my anxiety felt like

I get this all.the.time. I read somewhere that it is common, but I still plan on asking my doc about it.

It has actually been keeping me up at night.

Interesting, it was my very first pregnancy symptom too (9dpo), of course, I just thought I was having a 4 day long panic attack.

I get it too. It's the same palpitations I used to get before my anxiety and depression were controlled. I figured it's something to do with hormones and increased blood volume. I don't think it's harmful though, but maybe I'm wrong.

I've gotten that a few times so far. It's a horrible feeling

My butterflies are more like 2 ton elephants ... but yes, I get that feeling all the time. It sucks.
