How do you feel?: The heart rate isn't what's important: how you feel is what's important. I gather you're pregnant? Has your thyroid been checked? Have you had an echocardiogram to rule out peripartum cardiomyopathy? If all is well, and if you're troubled by the heart rate, the dose could be increased. Alternatively, Acebutolol is an even safer beta blocker in pregnancy.
