Low Heart Rate for 10 min before lunch
Hello,
My wife is 20 week pregnent. Today, few minutes before lunch, she started feeling dizzyness and weakness (she had her breakfast 2.5 hours back) because of which she ate fruits so as to make her feel comfortable and after minutes, she had proper lunch.
She felt dizzyness and weakness for approx. 10 min. On her smart watch, it was showing heart rate of 67 BPM during that 10 min. Now she is completely fine and showing normal heart rate of between 95-105 BPM and do not have those symptoms.
Can someone advice if that is something to worry or is it normal during this week of pregnancy?
Few details about her: PCOD, she is taking thyronorm and she also has gestational diabetes and she is taking medicine for that.
