Recommended Posts

Hi I just found out I’m pregnant and been suffering not confirmed I believe from what drs think dysautonomia or pots tachycardia and gone into svt from predisone since and from herpes outbreaks and now as well from becoming pregnant. I am only 3 weeks pregnant soo hot and flushed my hr been 40 hbeats higher like 110 rearing if I move sometimes quickly up to 160 or eat 120s 130s  I cant sleep. Any ideas I’d i end pregnancy if it will get better my symptoms were severe prior. Or is there a chance it will get better ? Or how will I do having surgery and is it better to have anesthesia or not? I have taken a plan b pill once had horrible horrible reaction. It’s my dream if I was healthy prior to have this baby I’m 41 and seems miracle but I was able to sleep prior and it’s triggerinf more svt. Anyone any advice very scared need some help.

Have you ever been pregnant before? Pregnancy can be quite challenging, especially in the first trimester. You are still so early in your pregnancy that it is hard to tell how your body will react. But rest assured that many many women improve after initial difficulties with their pregnancy. Make sure you see an OB/GYN as well as a cardiologist so they can treat your symptoms. Don't panic- it will be OK.

It sounds like you need to consult with specialists.  Are you able to see a high risk ob-gyn?  They would know about meds and care of a serious condition during pregnancy.  Ideally a high risk ob-gyn would work with a specialist in autonomic dysfunction to give you the best care.
