Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 17 weeks pregnant. I have been having palpitations and panic attacks for 15 days. I also feel dizzy. I got an ECG done, and my doctor suggested everything is normal. Currently, I am using calcium, iron, and vitamin tablets. What is the reason for the discomfort? Kindly suggest.

Answered by Dr. Rajesh Gulati

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If the ECG (echocardiogram) is normal, there is nothing to worry about. I suggest you get an ultrasound abdomen. You seem to have anxiety. I suggest you drink plenty of fluids and stay hydrated. I hope this helps. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
