A fetal heart rate of 160 to 170 is abnormal. A normal fetal heart rate should be between 110 and 160. If the fetal heart rate is temporarily too fast due to emotional excitement or strenuous exercise, it will be normal after calm or rest. This situation is generally not a problem. Just pay close attention to the changes in the fetal heart rate. If continuous monitoring fetal heart rate exceeds the normal level, it must be paid attention to, because long-term rapid heart rate will cause hypoxia in the fetus, it is recommended that the patient should go to the hospital to further clarify the cause of fetal heart rate increase, so as to do timely treatment.
