Hello,

It is normal to have increased heart rate during pregnancy because the cardiac output is increased. by 30 to 50 %. Also you feel breathing problems because the baby grows and the lungs have little space. Do not worry just check the blood pressure.

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

Regards,
Dr. Blerina Pasho, General & Family Physician
