Pregnant, mitral valve prolapse and high heart rate?

I found out I have mitral valve prolapse during my last pregnancy. The dr. gave me anti anxiety meds to help. Now I am pregnant again, 15 weeks.

Although an anxiety attack makes you believe you are having a heart attack, a heart attack makes you KNOW you are having a heart attack.

ihaven0commentz asked: My panic attacks happen quickly and only last a short time like less than a minute, but I do not have the difficulty breathing nor do I feel my heart pounding heavily. It is annoying and it happens more than once a day, sometimes even more than three times. HELP!!!
