Yes: Does appear to be a normal response, but ask your OB to check the pulse on your next visit.

Yes!!: Pregnancy is a hypermetabolic state and as such - you may feel heart beating faster at times - usually normal but if you are getting swelling or shortness of breath of any unusual pain - please be checked out by md!

Hi doctors. 22 years old I've been going through a lot of anxiety for 2 months, usually a very healthy person. As of late I've had a lot of heart palpitation, at a normal beat and very strong, but I feel a fluttering feeling as well like a buzz?
If i'm otherwise healthy and BP usually normal at rest, but pulse and BP get very high during anxiety or stress can it cause stroke or heart attack?
I suffer anxiety but today was different!! Normally also high pulse rate/heart race..2day anxiety BAD but my pulse/heart rate normal!!? Is this normal
Please advise if it's common for your heart rate and pulse to be normal during anxiety?
What could cause constant awareness of my heart rate? Sometimes it feels more forceful than normal. The pulse rate is always normal, around 60, but the beats feel forceful. Could this be my anxiety?
