Anybody else have this?
I'v never had any problems before with it, I am a bigger lady but please dont automatically jump to the conclusion that this is the reason as i know its not just bigger women who get affected by it.
When i was at an appointment on Thursday 18+1 weeks, they took my blood pressure which was normal but the midwife looked concerned and said to my consultant that my pulse was 115. He asked what my resting pulse usually was and i said i didnt know. I hadn't done any physical exersion before this.... I had been sat in the waiting room for half an hour.. and had gotten the bus to the hospital. He made the midwife call upto the ECG department and the nurse came down with a machine and did an ECG and my pulse showed as 105. The nurse was a little concerned and said i was Tachycardic, but when she phoned the consultant he said i was ok to go home.
I'm getting several episodes a day where i go dizzy and can feel my heart pounding, i cant even get my housework finished without it kicking in.
Anybody else had a problem like that and what did it mean for your pregnancy??
Thank you in advance. x
