    Like Nelle said, low iron can cause some of those symptoms. I am glad you're getting it seen to

    Doc said nothing wrong with my heart. I have an ear infection again (had one just last week). The antibiotics should help my chest cos if untreated could turn into pneumonia.

    Before I got pg again I was having regular heart palpitations. Nothing showed up on the ECG by it would come and go. Blood test found that my iron levels were extremely low so could definitely be a factor if they keep happening. Hope you feel better soon

    Happy to say the heart palps have stopped but now along with my ear infection(s), I have this awful cough that I can't shake. It makes me cough so much that I have been vomiting for the last 3 days. Is there any kind of medicine I can take to stop the cough while I am pregnant or is trip back to the doc back on the cards? I really don't wanna have to go back again.

    I took Duro-Tuss cough medicine when pregnant. I had a terrible cough that left me vomiting (and wetting my pants!). I couldn't move without having a coughing fit. The pharmacy assured me that Duro-Tuss was alright to take. There is a dry cough and wet cough formula and it did help.

    Me too Artechim! lol. I just went to the chemist and was told Bisolvin was ok to have. Fingers crossed it works.... I'm hungry!
