I am 8 months postpartum and seeking guidance regarding cardiology follow-up advised during pregnancy. In my third trimester, I had persistent high heart rate and was evaluated by cardiology. My ECHO was normal, and Holter monitoring showed normal sinus rhythm with an average heart rate around 110 bpm, which I was told can be normal in pregnancy. I was reassured this was pregnancy-related sinus tachycardia.
During labor, my heart rate increased to the 150s and was attributed to labor-related stress. I was advised routine follow-up at 3–4 months postpartum. Due to postpartum recovery, I could not attend earlier and am now planning to visit within the next week.
Currently, I feel well. My resting heart rate is in the 70s and BP around 110/70. I have white-coat anxiety and my heart rate increases during visits. I would like to know if any repeat testing is needed or if this visit is mainly for reassurance.
