It is malfunction in the neurological pathways of your heart that causes palpatations and increased beats per minute. During pregnancy your hearts defect can first become known with the onset of symptoms. I have SVT. My symptoms began when I was about 22 yrs old and not pregnant. At rest, my heart rate would increase as high as 180 and 210 beats per minute with accompanying pain and discomfort. I had a catharization to investgate the problem more with an intent to ablate the misfiring neurological receptors. Sadly, my problem is irreversible, but 98% are safely fixable. You need to see your regular physician, your OBGYN, and a cardiologist to explore your options. It is not usually fatal, but it can be.
