What Causes Chest Tightness And Strained Breathing During Pregnancy?
I m 22 weeks pregnant and have for the past 5 days been feeling breathless with a persistant cough. I also had a panic attack in between too. My chest feels tight and my breathing feels a little strained. This happens several times in the day. Is this normal?

Hello,
It appears as though you are experiencing bronchospasm according to the symptom description given by you. Several causes can be thought of-like an asthmatic attack, infection with lower respiratory tract involvement, severe anemia with fluid collection in the lungs as part of failure and so on. I would ask you to immediately see a chest physician and get proper help. You may need bronchodilation, steam inhalations, nebulization, antibiotics, enhancement of proper drainage etc. Wish you speedy recovery.
