Brief Answer: Follows. Detailed Answer: Dear Madam, Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX Well looking into your problem I will like to tell you that your doctor has rightly warned you , there is a fear of ventricular arrythmias and tachycardia . Since pregnancy leads to hyperdynamic circulation it can get aggravated when you are pregnant . I will advise you to get yourself evaluated by a cardiologist and get an ECG and 2 D Echo done so that cause can be found out and then accordingly treatment can be planned if required . Take care.
