I am 24 weeks pregnant. Yesterday I went
to see a normal doc due to some headache
problem. Then the doc told me I got heart
murmur problem, my heart beat faster than
normal, this may cause I can't deliver my
baby naturally. Does anyone has idea on
this? The doc recommend I go for further
check up or let my practitioner doc know
about it.
My next appointment for will on this month
end, but I am so worry about it. I always
feel short of breathe, dizzy .... Is it
because of heart murmur?
I dun have this kind problem before, not
sure is it I got heart problem b4 my
pregnancy or just because my pregnancy
caused the heart murmur.
Pls advise....... I am so worry. Even I
am sitting in the office or room, I can
feel short of breathe too. :(
thanks !!

Joe is spamming agian.
Regarding the heart murmur, the heart and
blood vessels are strained a lot during
pregnancy, and a murmur is not uncommon.
Your heart has to pump somewhere around
1/3rd to 1/2 more blood than when you are
not pregnant, and murmurs are not
uncommon.
As long as the heart doesn't get to
strained, it will go right back to normal
afterwards. Just watch your blood
pressure and don't strain and excert
yourself to much.
Not a bad idea to get your blood pressure
checked weekly for awhile.
