What to do if a pregnant woman has a fast heartbeat and feels anxious

If you are pregnant, do you often experience a rapid heartbeat, panic, and chest tightness? Even if it is only temporary, it is still unsettling and you worry that it will affect the fetus in your belly. So, what should pregnant women do if they have a fast heartbeat and feel anxious? Let’s take a look at it below.

1. During pregnancy, due to increased blood flow, the heart pressure will increase, so the pregnant mother's heart rate will slightly accelerate, which is a physiological need. However, if you feel obvious discomfort, it is recommended to go to a local regular hospital as soon as possible and receive standard treatment under the guidance of a doctor to avoid delaying the disease.

2. As the fetus grows, the pregnant mother's internal organs are all squeezed into the upper abdomen and pressed close to the lungs, causing breathing difficulties. In addition, with the baby, the blood oxygen content is insufficient, resulting in symptoms of hypoxia.

3. Due to the increase in metabolism and circulatory blood levels and the need to adapt to the fetal circulation, the mother's heart pressure increases. Cardiac output per minute begins to increase from the 10th week of pregnancy, reaches a peak around the 28th week of pregnancy, and is 30-50% higher than normal. The heart rate gradually increases, with the maximum being about 10 beats per minute higher than before pregnancy.

What should pregnant mothers do if their heart beats fast and they feel anxious?

1. Pay attention to rest and supplement nutrition. It is best to eat more fruits and vegetables. Avoid eating spicy food. Maintain a positive attitude. It is recommended to take hypertonic sugar for conditioning.

2. It is best to go to the hospital for a routine blood test and a 24-hour dynamic electrocardiogram for diagnosis to avoid physiological causes of fetal growth and development disorders.
