Tachy?

in Pregnant after 35
Today my doctor said I was tachy and to be on the safe side, I have to get my thyroid checked again. I may also have to be admitted in the hospital to keep a monitor on myself and the baby. This happened with my third baby but all turned out to be okay. It just comes and go.

My glucose test was not passing so I have to go on a three day diet so that I can do a three hour test.

Things like this can be so discouraging. I'm just so sad right now,

    I'm sorry, that sounds hard. Forgive me for not knowing but what does tachy mean? I hope you will get back on track and feeling more optimistic soon!

    Tachy is basically when your heart rate is too fast. I'm praying all goes well for me. Grant it, my age is a factor, I just want a smooth pregnancy.

    Yes tachycardia is what it is. I had it with my last pregnancy, and I did turn out fine. It could be my thyroid. So they took blood work.

    Do you meannbsp;tachycardia? nbsp;I have known a few people to have this during pregnancy. nbsp;They just had to be monitored more closely but everything ended up working out fine for them. nbsp;Best wishes.

    I experienced it with my last pregnancy, but it was a side effect to Procardia that my OB had prescribed to stop my preterm labor symptoms.

    It was crazy and scary; the dr told me if my heart rate got really high (I can't really remember the number, maybe 140?) to go to the ER. It never got close to that although at times I thought my heart was going to explode.

    I checked it with an at-home automatic blood pressure monitor. Hopefully yours is resolved quickly!!

    I'm on Procardia because Labetalol wasn't working for my pressure. I have had bouts with panic attacks for over a year but thankfully I barely have them now, if at all. I get anxious when I go to the doctor or if I don't get a nap. I will be glad when I can get a clear on this. So mindboggling.
