What Causes Fast Heart Beat And Pressure In Chest During Pregnancy?

I m 13 weeks pregnant with twins and about 5.5 hrs ago while driving home my heart began beating so fast and hard in my chest and neck that I actually felt like I was choking. I went straight home and laid down and it eased off but I just got back up to go to the restroom and it started again, also easing when I laid back down. Is this normal or do I need to visit an ER?

Hi..this is not normal. If I would be your doctor then would suggest you to emergency room and work out for heart & thyroid related investigation to find out the cause & treat accordingly..
