So being I have high blood pressure and my medication had to change I have to keep checking it. Noticed my heart rate is so much higher at rest than usual. I feel my heart pounding and it isn't a good feeling. Just looked it up and just another part of pregnancy. Sheesh is anything unaffected?



Extra blood volume during pregnancy does raise heartbeat
it's not the pregnancy. it's the change in medicine. when I don't take my blood pressure meds pregnant or not for a while then take it, I get a massive headache, nausea, and a racing heartbeat like nobody's business.
@ssdj4, yea it's not a good feeling. I finally got my blood pressure regulated but the meds I was on I can't take while pregnant so now I'm on other meds and they don't seem to be working but I noticed my resting heart rate is in the high 90's 😕
