What is causing a sudden increase in heart palpitations and dizziness during my second trimester of pregnancy?
I have had infrequent heart palpitations for years. Just recently, these have increased to more than once a day and have included dizzy spells (once, I actually fainted). I am in my second trimester of pregnancy, my first trimester was uneventful (no palpitations, even). I eat healthy, have gained 10-15 lbs., exercise (not too heavily), try to stay hydrated, have a low pulse and a slightly lower than average blood pressure. I am more interested in natural remedies, but I would appreciate any knowledgeable or experienced advice. I am also receiving care from a midwife, no doctor.
