Hi, Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar here. I welcome you to HCM VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and II will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

1 ) First of all do not panic.

2 ) It is really necessary to ensure all the care for your medical problems. I will suggest to get Holter test done. A good 2 D echo and colour doppler will be of help.

3 ) it is utmost important to find out the cause . As you must be aware that in pregnancy there are limitations on the use of various medicines, considering safety of the baby. It will be better to have opinion of an expert cardiologist.

4 ) Labetelol is one of the safe beta blocker that can be used. But still expert cardiologist opinion is must.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks
