Hello doctor! I'm 28 weeks pregnant, but I haven't been able to sleep for over a month now. My body is very weak, I often feel nervous, do not sleep well and dream often. Sometimes I dream scary dreams and wake up. When I woke up, I felt tired and my heart was pounding with my ears pounding like a heartbeat. I feel the blood vessels in my head pulsating as well. I had a drug shock twice and once suddenly my heart beat fast, difficult to breathe, dizzy. So my heart was affected three times. Right now, I'm very weak, my heart beats fast. I can count my own heart rate and often feel weak in my limbs and tired. The doctor asked me, with the above symptoms, do I have heart disease or do I have a neurological disease? I look forward to receiving medical advice. Thank you doctor!

Hello! The symptoms you experience will cause you a lot of trouble and discomfort. If you have signs of heart disease, your doctor will refer you to a cardiologist. You should go for regular prenatal check-ups at reputable medical facilities or hospitals of Vinmec Health System nationwide to be examined directly by obstetricians. Currently, the diagnosis of heart disease is also quite easy and does not affect the fetus, so you can be completely assured.
Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. We look forward to meeting you for a more detailed consultation. Best regards!
