A member asked:
I've been experiencing palpitations, racing heart (pulse 120), & shortness of breath; 30 wks pregnant. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Palpitations: Palpitations are the subjective sensation of the beating of your heart. They are common during and right after pregnancy. In most cases, they are benign. Try eliminating caffeine from your diet to see if this has an effect. Be sure to follow regularly with your doctor to determine if you need further testing.
