Racing heart

Racing heart

Last night I was on the computer and I felt very lightheaded. I have been feeling that lately (usually after I get up from sitting down) but this just came on suddenly and left suddenly too.

Then my heart started racing a bit and I couldn't get to sleep last night.

Has this happened to anyone? I am 19 weeks.
Thanks

Re: Racing heart

yes it has happened to me twice. My heart races for like 20 seconds and that's it.

Keep in mind that your body is changing. Heart racing and lightheadedness is normal. Chat Icon

This has happened to me a few times. Usually after I've gotten up and down a bunch of times. It goes away in about 30 sec.

It happened to me too. I would let your Dr. know. If it happens again call your OB.

Re: Racing heart

That's happened to me a few times. I read that it's normal - your heart's trying to keep up with all the extra blood flow.
