What Causes Rapid Heart Rate With High Pulse?

My heart is beating very fast, pulse rate 108 bpm, I have had this for a while now - the Dr had me on a Cardio watch to monitor my heartbeat and the results were high and varied from 108 to 126, my Dr therefore suggested that I visit a Cardiologist for an Echo Cardiogram but due to an error on their part, my appointment is not until 28th of July - I am 28+2 weeks pregnant and am concerned. Today for example, I was well and felt in goos spirits but within an hour my heartbeat increased from 96 to 108 bph and I felt tired, then, cold then hot. Should I go to the Accident and Emmergency unit?

Hi,

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to low blood pressure, which is quite normal during pregnancy.

For this reason, I don't think that there is any need to go to the ER. I would just recommend taking some rest and taking plenty of fluids. It is also necessary to closely monitor your blood pressure values.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
Cardiologist
