Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic.
I have gone through your query.
I think I have understood your concern, I will try to suggest you the best possible treatment options.
Actually various physiological changes occur during pregnancy.
It is normal to feel rapid heart beats, -palpitations- because of the changes in blood volume and circulation in your body.
And if you are empty stomach for long ,you will faint. So have small frequent feeds.
So do not worry, what ever you are feeling is normal, and enjoy your pregnancy.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
