A member asked:

What are the risks of heart conditions like tachycardia during a pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Liza Kunz answered

Depends: Tachycardia has many causes, which dramatically change whether or not there is any worrisome effect on pregnancy. If you are tachycardic and short of breath in pregnancy, you should seek medical advise today.
