Heart palpitations and panic attacks in pregnant women

Changes in hormone levels and personal emotions after pregnancy may cause panic discomfort, in which case it is recommended that patients take appropriate outdoor exercise and do not overstress. If the panic attacks and palpitations are frequent, it is recommended that an electrocardiogram be performed to clarify whether there are arrhythmias and ischemic changes. During panic attacks and palpitations, touch the pulse of the pregnant woman and pay attention to the number of pulses and whether there are irregularities in the pulse. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, the enlargement of the uterus will compress the chest space, which will lead to the symptoms of heartburn and discomfort. More serious cases are caused by cardiac insufficiency, which will occur around 28-35 weeks, when the pregnant woman’s heart load is larger, and if she has underlying heart disease, it may be due to heart failure, so pay attention to perfecting electrocardiogram, heart ultrasound and other examinations to assess the underlying state of the heart.
