• I have it but I had it before I got pregnant and now it seems to be getting worse also, especially when I lay down, sometimes it feels like my heart is really working at pushing out a pump and I have to get up and gasp for air, I haven't talked to my OB about this but I will next time I see her because it's scary. 

  Good Luck!

• mine isn't constantly but every once in a while my heart will race and I will get sickly feeling but after a while it goes away. Im talking about laying on the couch watching tv and my heart will start to race for no reason.

• I have an arrythmia all the time and I take blood pressure medicine to help. It is safe during pregnancy so if the arythmia is that bad you can talk to your doctor about medication. Something that helped before I had blood pressure medecine is making sure to drink alot of water, avoid anything with caffine including chocolate, and make sure to you psych yourself out about it. I feel like it was the worst when I was scared it was something terrible.

• Thanks, I think I will talk to my doctor about some medication. I didn't know that it was safe during pregnancy.
