Waking up. Heart racing.

Before I found out I was pregnant, I was a heavy sleeper. Barely ever woke up. I'm not nervous or anxious about the pregnancy, but I wake up at least 5 times throughout the night and my heart is racing and my face feels hot. I'm up super early too. Can't fall back asleep. Anyone else having some sleeping problems.

  • Ya I sleep with a fan on too. It doesn't seem to help. Maybe ill turn it up tonight! My blood pressure is normally really low. Ill have to get it checked. Good call!
  • I have heart palpitations anyway. In week 4, they were horrible during the night. So I kinda get it. I'm 6w4d and they have really relaxed. I have cut out all caffeine expect one can of dt dr pepper at day. I think that's helped.

  • At 4 weeks and 2 days, my heart started racing and I could not calm it down. My breathing was normal. But my heart was pounding out my chest and I had trouble sleeping at night. I messaged my OB and she said that rising progesterone levels cause high heart rate and is a normal symptom. She told me take my BP, which was normal. After 3 days, the tachycardia stopped, but it sure made me worry!
