What Causes Fluttering Of Heart During Pregnancy?
I am 26, 23 weeks pregnant. Never had any kind of health problems! My heart has been skipping beats! I notice it more at night, and it takes my breath away. I went to the er the other morning and had an EKG done. The test took maybe a minute and it came back fine. During the test my heart did not flutter any! So the doc checked my thyroid and it came back normal. I will have to say that some days I am fine and don't feel any kind of skipping, then others I have a lot of fluttering, like now. I would say about 5 a minute! It's scary! What should I do?

HI
Well come to HCM
The heart beat skipping can only seen in EKG and one can not feel this if you have some feeling that gives impression like skipping beat then this could be false sensation moreover during the pregnancy such nonspecific symptoms are very common and this is nothing to worry, hope this helps.
