heart palpitations 2 months pp

[katbrat]

hey all. im 2 months pp from c section , and about a week ago exactly I experienced heart palpitations. I went to ER, and they did all kinds of testing on me, and it all came back fine. I’ve also been fatigued, and in between my shoulders hurt. dizziness also comes and goes. I went to prompt care today, and they referred me to cardiology.. im really just uneasy ab everything. my iron level was fine today, and I don’t know why this is happening to me. if anybody else experienced this will it go away soon?? I also want to know if magnesium will help.

@katbrat Did they check your thyroid hormone (TSH)?

 

[katbrat]

@draxzar he asked me if I had problems with it, and. I said no. I don’t think they tested it, if they did, there was no concern that he brought to me

@katbrat I would recommend asking your primary care doctor to check TSH. Post partum thyroiditis can cause palpitations, even if you’ve never had a history of thyroid problems. Happened to me and now I’m stable on thyroid medicine. Keep us posted

@katbrat This is so interesting - I had the exact same thing happen but I’m only 3 weeks post C-section. They determined I have a PVC that was most likely induced by pregnancy. I see a specialist for care plan next week, but most likely will resolve itself according to doctor.

@jennystang can you tell me more about this

 

[jennystang]

@katbrat What questions do you have?

 

[katbrat]

@jennystang what exactly is it, and what did doctors say

@katbrat I gave birth vaginally and had this happen to me about 3 months out. All testing - ekg, bloodwork - came out 100% normal. My doctor attributed to stress of going back to work .
