I was taking a hot bath (trying to relax) & suddenly I noticed my heart was beating too fast. I decided that the heat of the bath wasn't helping, so I got out. As I was drying off I started seeing specks & streaks of light on all sides of me, like some strange kind of trip. It lasted for about a minute or two & then stopped as I sat down & breathed deeply. I went to my parents' house & used my dad's blood pressure checker to check my blood pressure & it was normal (132/75). I'm now having some chest pains. I wonder if this is just my Mitral Valve Prolapse acting up (for the first time in a while) or if something pregnancy-related could be wrong. Does anyone have any info or experience that could help? Thanks!

It sounds like it was caused by the heat of the bath, lay down have a nice cool drink and try to relax, if you are still not feeling well call your doctor.
The last thing you need to be doing right now though is sitting infront of a computer, turn it off and rest!!

Wow, I am not sure but I really think that is a question for a doctor. I am 38 weeks preg too and that has never happened to me. But I was also told not to take hot baths at all. That it is very bad for the baby. I would call a doc asap, waiting could possible hurt you or the baby.

You need to call your doctor. That does not sound normal. Your doctor should have an answering service. 139 for blood pressure is borderline high, so you may need to watch your sal intake.

It could be pregnancy related. You should contact your caregiver; blood pressure is an important factor in your prenatal health. Hope all is well.

It sounds like my dad's problem. A torn retina. See an eye specialist asap.
