Shortness of breath

Dear Mummies, i’m only 8 weeks in pregnancy. But last night, I experienced the worst symptoms which was shortness of breath. I’ve been having trouble breathing a little (knowing it’s one of the symptoms) but last night, I couldn’t sleep & it feels like someone is sitting on my chest. Yes it was that bad. I had to hug myself and forcefully close my eyes to sleep. Please help. Is this normal? 😢

Hi mummy Huda! Same for me. As for my case, I went to o&g at kkh the next morning and found out there was a sudden drop of blood pressure for me. Was admitted bc of heart palpitations and was at 16w of pregnancy. Doctor suggested for iron tablets & maybe keep a lookout of cigarette smoke as she knows my household has a lot of smokers. Do monitor if it worsens, and you’re concerned just go and have a check :)
