Breathlessness

i’ve been extremely short of breath even when just sitting, i went triage because im at risk of preterm labour and they noticed this and reffered me for an xray and a VQ scan and bloods so they’ve taken it quite seriously! if your concerned just express this to them! from the bloods i’ve already found out i have hypothyroidism so defo worth just having the checks done! 🫶🏼

Thanks Shauna. I might go up to urgent care then just to be safe. They didn’t seem interested when I rang Triage x

I’ve just hit 27 weeks and also struggling with this! Especially when sitting down or after eating or drinking

Yep have had this. Also had my heart going like clappers too. Guess its just a pregnancy thing

Yeah had the same am 38 weeks and a lot bigger than I was with my first. I get the breathing issues when am lying down and sometimes when am feeling anxious. I agree with the ladies its always worth going to triage xxx

I have this so much these days especially if im in a warm room, honestly just put it down to pregnancy and my organs being squished but deffo get checked if your really concerned

Thanks ladies it’s probably just this big belly 🤣 ill see how I get on xx

The baby has just moved up into your ribs so could be that? I find like only 10% of the time I can breathe easily 😅 but when im stretched out to give my lungs more space im ok
