Should I call the doctor?

in Pregnant after 35
For the past few days my heart has been beating so fast and hard that my shirt is moving and I often need to sit up to try to settle down. I do have high blood pressure and I am a little scared of what is going ... Should I call my doctor?

    Some degree of heart palpitations are normal in pregnancy as your body starts pumping more blood, but it sounds like yours might be a little stronger than that.  Esp. with your BP issues, it's probably worth a call to the doctor. 

    Do you have a cuff to check your BP at home or does your local pharmacy do BP checks?  I think CVS does them, not sure where else.  Maybe that could at least give you some clue if something is going on more than normal pregnancy-related stuff.

    It certainly won't hurt to get a Dr's opinion. Keep us posted.

    Yes call! It could be several different things but you don't know until you get checked out!

    Your OB WANTS to know if there is something out of the ordinary going on - call.  Better to call them and have them tell you it's nothing, than not call and have it get worse and end up being something.
