I started taking folio acid tablets as i want to get pregnant. but started to have heart palpitations. should i stop taking the tablets?

Folic acid: Suggest you stop Folic Acid supplement and see if heart palpitations clear up. If they do then try to take a 1/10 dose of the Folic Acid and see if that causes trouble or not. Report to your doctor.

I would say no.: Folic acid is of great benefit in pregnancy and it has not been shown to increase the likelihood of arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms) or palpations.
