tachycardia and c-sections

Anyone experienced pregnancy induced tachycardia and had to have a c-section because of it? I got hooked up to a heart monitor today because i am having a lot of episodes of palpitations along with chest heaviness and shortness of breath. I am terrified this will mean a section.

I had this, but it didn't mean a c section.  They monitored me during labor, cardiologist was on call.  Ended up with a c section though not heart related.  I passed out while they were sewing me up, didn't wake up until it was all done.  Spent 18 hours in the heart patient ward without further problems whatsoever.

I had a tachycardia and a c section, but they were completely unrelated.
