A member asked:

Hi. is it normal to get heart palpitations in pregnancy ? i'm 5 months pregnant. feeling worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Heart palpitations: Heart palpitations are common regardless of state of pregnancy, and are usually not indicative of cardiac pathology. Anxiety and stress in general can lead to palpitations, and if accompanied by dizzyness or loss of balance should be evaluated by a cardiologist.
