Hello, I had a C-section about a week ago and have been having very consistent heart palpitations.. about 1 every 5 beats or so. It s a very uncomfortable feeling but my OB doc didn t seem too concerned. I was anemic during my pregnancy and then had the surgery so not sure what exactly is causing this. Should I be concerned? Is this normal post pardum?
Hi there, I have understood your concern and I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.First do not panic. As you have mentioned that you had anemic condition and there was history of C section, this might have further lead to decreased hemoglobin levels. I will suggest you to get complete blood count and urine routine examination done. Please consult with your internal medicine consultant, to get an idea about your palpitations. This will help to know if palpitations are due to anemic condition or anything more related heart rhythm system. Till then, be calm and quiet. Get relaxed. Meditate regularly. Think positive. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables and salads in daily diet. Chat Doctor. Things will be fine in the due course of time. I hope this answer helps you. Thanks
