Fast Heartbeat...

jaybee · Dec 28th, 2009, 14:21 PM

Quick question ladies,

throughout the day...usually after I have eaten actually, I find that my heart races really fast. Lasts for a couple of minutes and then settles down.
Just wondering if anyone else has it at all? VERY occasionally it does come with breathlessness (which I posted about before xmas) but not usually.

Any suggestions.

me too, especially last night it lasted for a while, my OH eats whole lemons (i know yuck!!) and the smell of the lemon was making it worse i had to tell him to get out the room, its like palpatations.

I wonder if its anything to do with the lungs etc all getting squished togther as baby grows and so having a little trouble!?!
Not too worried as its not uncomfortable...just annoying!!!!
Shall ask MW at next appointment on 11jan....unless anyone else out there knowsd anything!!!
Thanks for letting me know I am not alone though.

Some food intolerances can bring on breathlessness and palpitations. Can you trace it to a particular food or is at after eating in general? Otherwise, could just be yet another quirky pregnancy symptom!

Unfortunatly its after almost every meal...but not snack (its almost like when I eat a meal, there is not enough space in my abdomen for Baby, lungs, heart and Stomach)

it was the smell of the lemon that made it race faster but was already racing before he started eating im back at antinatal to get more blood taken on the 5th Jan so ill also be asking to see if i can get any answers as have never experienced this before (pregnancy)
