Hi I'm 22 year old and I'm 5 months pregnant. I been having shortness of breathe while sleeping wake up every hour gasping for air and my heart start beating fast. I dont if it's anxiety or its a heart problem. I really panic when I can't breathe even while eating. What should I do? Please Help me. I have to be sleeping with my air conditioner on or else I feel my heart will stop and I will stop breathing while sleeping
Hey morra
Im also pregnant (19 weeks)
I suffer from health anxiety and one of my symtoms was heart beating fast and gasping for air. Felt like my heart was goin to stop at any minute.
I was absoulutly scared s@$tless.
Then i spoke to a physiatrist thru the maternity hospital im dealing with.
At first i didnt know it was anxiety and thought that there was something very wrong with my heart.
I told her what i was going thru and told me it was severe health anxiety.
She put me on lexapro, ive been on it for a week and feel so much better.
have u spken to a dr ?
Hi Sheryl18372,
I Have Talk to My Dr Thru Phone But All He Tells Me If I Feel Sick To Go ER When He Should Know If It's Normal Or Not? That Gets Me Mad Cause It's Like If They Don't Care

It sounds like Anxiety, although because of your pregnancy you would be better to talk to your GP and put your mind at rest.

Sounds like u need another dr.
U need to try n get on top of it all while your pregnant , it will make things so much easier for when baby arrives.
U def need another opinion
