tachycardia in pregnancy

[daisybby03]

I had SVT (AV nodal reentrant tachycardia) & my heart rate would get to 245! It was awful because I have a child and I was so worried I would pass out and not be there for her. I actually got a cardiac ablation back in December and have been doing really good. When I first got pregnant I would get "flutters" but nothing like the attacks I use to get. Doctors said it would take a few months for heart to "re-route" itself. Thankfully no attacks at all! I know it can be so scary to have the attacks.

I suffered from this during pregnancy, I was 33 weeks pregnant and had to call an amvulance. My pulse rate shot up to 250. I was on the verge of having medication when the consultant gave me a syringe to blow in and that brought it down to 110 over time. But the consultant told me its common during pregnancy but to seek medical advice if you are unsure. I still have episodes but I think that's because I'm slightly anaemic.
