HI,
IT's good you are aware of forthcomming problem. You should get some investigations done including CBC,xray chest, Pulmonary function tests. you might have some other respiratory problem-after taking treatment for it your discomfert will reduce.
In addition you have to start respiratory exercises to improve your respiration & be ready for pregnancy.
Pl. don't worry you will do very well.
Thanks
