Doctor's answer:

Hello
After a woman becomes pregnant, her body temperature tends to rise compared to when she was not pregnant, which can lead to symptoms such as excessive sweating and feeling hot. The heart palpitations and thirst you mentioned may be related to pregnancy. However, it is also necessary to rule out other conditions, such as gestational diabetes.
Advice: It is recommended to undergo regular prenatal check-ups to rule out the possibility of combined pregnancy-related diseases. If you feel thirsty, you can drink more warm water and eat some fruits to replenish fluids.
