What Causes Heart Palpitations And Can It Affect Pregnancy?

I am a 30 year-old female who wants to have another child. I heart palpitations and a fast heartbeat at times. I ve had all the tests done and everything comes back normal. I didnt have palps when I was pregnant with my first child. We really want to have another child but dont know if we should because of the heart palpitations. Could we have another child and if so, can the palpitations be kept under control with any medicine available to pregnant women.

Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion the palpitations could be due to anxiety or cardiac related.
As per your information normal tests indicate the cardiac status is good.
So mostly the palpitations might be anxiety related.
I would like you to consult physician and get evaluated in that way.
Also practice meditation daily.It calms down the mind and helps in controlling the BP and
heart rate.
Avoid stress if any.
Dont worry.It will get normal with meditation
and medication if necessary.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to discuss further.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
