Hi
I really need some help! I am really scared at the moment which does not help my situation at all, I know but it's hard.
I saw a nurse today as I have something I thought might be sinusitis and when she put the little finger monitor to check my sats my HR went to 117 at one point and has basically mot gone lower than 108! I mean when I saw that there was no way I was gonna relax and the more I tried to breathe slower and relax the less relaxed I actually felt cause I just could not really relax. I am close to 21 weeks pregnant and ever since I got pregnant most times they take my HR it's over 100 but mostly they don't even mention it, once my doctor laughed at it, said that was ridiculous but as I get anxious she doesn't pay any attention to it. It was the same that particular time, 117 but I never panicked afterwards but now I can't stop checking it and at times it feels like it maybe has gone down for a second and then it goes up again. Today the nurse said well it does increase in pregnancy especially if you are aneamic so we can check that but when she checked it she said it was regular. About couple of months ago I went to a&e and they did ecg and sent me home, at that time I was being sick a lot so they said it's a bit of dehydration. That is not the case now! My bump has grown massive though and it really presses up so as soon as I get some bloating as well it gets a lot worse. And I now have that as well so I kust don't know how I am going to go to bed tonight :-( I am terrified my heart can't cope. I feel like I need to burp and telease the pressure but when I do burp it lasts like 2 seconds and I feel the same again which makes it impossible to take deeper slower breaths to try and slow the heart rate....
How high does your heart rate get? I am so freaked out...
