my latest symptom :-) (arrhythmia)
Great. I should have known. For about the past 2 days (well today I've
been spared, so far, so I had this problem yesterday and the day before), I've had my old arrhythmia come back but much worse than I ever remember it. (I call it "my old..." because I had it as a child and teenager) I know it's normal for pregnancy to bring this on, so I'm not worried, but it is still at least a little unnerving anyway. I hate it when I sit there and I can feel my heart skipping beats. It's not the skipped beat that troubles me, but the major thumping that occurs for a couple of beats afterwards, along with the increased adrenaline. I think they technically classify what I suffer from as a form of tachycardia (not sure though), although I didn't have tachycardia in general - only 90bpm, which is high for me while resting, but not high enough to warrant being labelled. I actually plan to phone my midwife tomorrow to ask her about it, but I'm expecting her to tell me to not worry about it, drink more water, and so on. ;-) We'll see. I would have phoned today, but I forgot (I know - but it's because I had this problem for so long before, and I'm used to just tuning it out). Does anyone else experience this? Just curious...is it worse when you lie down? I don't know why, but for me it's always worse when I lie down. Normally, it's not much of a problem, but now that I'm pregnant, there is of course more stress being placed on my body, so last night, in particular, I actually had to get out of bed because it got pretty bad. Sleep was impossible. (thankfully, it stopped on its own after a few hours, so I did manage to get *some* sleep) |

my latest symptom :-) (arrhythmia)
I've had it with all three pregnancies. It starts right up sometimes before
I know I'm pregnant yet. For me, I mostly notice it when I'm lying on my left side at night (so I tend to avoid doing that so I can sleep). Bothersome, but from what I can tell, not unusual or anything to worry about (easy to say, but very hard not to worry about it!!) "Vicky Bilaniuk" wrote in message ... Great. I should have known.
