Heart palpitations

Been struggling with palpitations (especially at night) for about 2 weeks now. Having to have a 72 hour ECG starting from tomorrrow 🙄 my heart rate is probably sitting between 85-90 bmp resting. Is this normal in pregnancy? I’m 23 weeks. I’m just noticing it so much and it’s keeping me up at night. Normally my heart rate is around 70. Wearing my Apple Watch probs doesn’t help because now I’m just getting obsessed with watching it. Anyone else had the same?

My heart rates normally too high anyway but can’t take my medication while pregnant, I’m 23 weeks and have a cardiologist appointment next month but pregnancy puts more of a strain on your heart hence why you’ll be noticing a higher heart rate especially with stress x

Yes I have these. Been suffering from low iron and sometimes when I’m dehydrated it absolutely pounds. At my last consultant appointment my resting heart rate was 96! I’m usually around 70. The consultant assured me it can safely be up to 110 in pregnancy . Did they do your bloods to check for deficiencies along with the ecg? Xx
