Increased heart rate during pregnancy
Hello sir/madam,
My wife is in her 22nd week of pregnancy.
Her BP and heart rate was usually normal.
Since yesterday, she felt her heart pounding.
When checked using pulseoximeter, her pulse rate was 118 and she is hearing heart beat sound in her ears...
Is this normal?

A little rise in the heart beat is normal in pregnancy due to hyperdynamic circulation
Better to meet a physician fr a detailed Evaluation n to rule out any abnormality
