Does heart rate increase in the early stages of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, during pregnancy, due to the increased blood load, heart rate may increase to a certain extent, usually by about 10-15 beats per minute. As long as there is no palpitations and the heart rate is not too fast, it generally has no significant impact, and rest is sufficient. If the heart rate is too fast or accompanied by symptoms of palpitations, symptomatic treatment is required.
