shortness of breath and rapid heart rate?

Im 35 weeks and have had periods of rapid heart rates and shortness of breath. Mainly when I get up and walk around. Anyone else have this?

Dr sent me to a cardiovascular dr and now Im on a heart monitor for 48 hours and have a  heart ultrasound today. Ive been on bedrest since last Tuesday. =/

I do have preeclampsia which ive known now for a week.
My heart ultrasound came back normal! And i stopped wearing the monitor because i was breaking out from the glue on the tape. All in all seems like things will be ok.
Im just over this feeling. I did not have this with my first two pregnancies.

I had a similar problem but mine was a panic attack. It was horrible they first thought it was because of the extra blood flow but figured it out finally.

I had/ have this! My doc sent me to l/d to get checked they did,a ekg of my heart, and tested my blood sugar! Everything came back fine! I always feel like I'm going to pass out, and food makes it worse I googled some stuff and said that it's because your heart is working so hard to give u oxygen! Maid since to me so I just kinda deal with it! This is my second pregnancy and it happened in both$ good luck
