is it normal?

[DCinMI]

for your heart to begin racing and pounding for no reason at all. I am 31 weeks pregnant and I will be laying in bed watching tv with hubby and all of a sudden my heart will begin to pound, and i know i have been having high blood pressure, at my last docs app they had to have me lay on my side cause my bp was too high, but this is scaring me, i won't even be doing anything just laying there or sitting there, even on my left side which is supposed to help the heart and breathing, but my heart will start pounding so hard that i feel like my chest is going to explode i can even feel it in my neck every beat, should i call the doc's office or wait until my next app

check with your doc.  it almost sounds like a mini-anxiety attack
