palpatations and breathlessness

[Eternity84]

So yesterday I had the flu today. today I feel awful. is it just coincidence? My chest feels tight. Feel like I'm short of breath and my heart feels like it's beating out of my chest. I generally feel pretty unwell in myself today so maybe I just coming down with something?
I'm 27 weeks. Anyone else experienced this?

That was supposed to say yesterday I had the flu jab lol

I would call your gP, as it sound as though you could be reacting to the jab and at your stage of pregnancy they will want to make sure you are ok. Either that or go into your ante-natal unit and get checked there. I think you need to be seen though. Hope you feel ok soon.

Hey in 30 weeks and a few days ago felt like my bra was on too tight even tho I had no bra on! Started panicking and felt like I was having a panic attack been okay since I had flu jab a few days ago xxx

29 weeks and this week I had a massive breathless attack. I think I started panicking as it got worse and ended up bent double wailing leaning against a shop on my way to work. As the pp said it felt like my bra was way too tight.

I think mines related to things getting a bit tight for space in there, then panicking which made things worse. I might start carrying around a paper bag!

Glad I'm not alone with the breathless feeling. It's very frightening!! The last 2 weeks i've got much bigger. I spoke to midwife who said maybe just slight reaction to flu jab but probably just comin down with a cold as my kids have all had it. Typical!

I'm having these symptoms & dr has sent me for blood tests for anaemia. Might be worth asking your GP?

Oh I never thought of that. Possible. I have my 28 weeks midwife appt on Tuesday so will mention it. I'm sure I'm due blood tests then anyway, so will make sure one is for my iron levels
