Skipping Heart Beat During Pregnancy
Why does my heart skip a beat sometimes it makes me feel breathless until I lie down for a while. Am 30 weeks pregnant , 37yrs old with no medical history of heart disease

Hello.
Having palpitation, breathlessness and tachycardia is quite common in pregnancy due to excessive load of baby on mother's heart.
Get your B.P. checked to rule out pre-eclampsia.
