Hiya
I'm quite concerned but I am admittedly a worrier so might be just normal but want to check anyway. Seeing my midwife tomorrow anyway for a routine appointment.

I am having ankle and calve swelling badly it's got so bad and usually it's in the evenings. I'm 23 weeks pregnant. I get itchy calves and ankles and they get very swolen and read and get blood spots on and my calves have stretch marks on from where they get so swollen. I am 26 on the bmi which my mw said is normal for 23 weeks so Its not due to weight issues. I actually also weigh more when I'm having this swelling as I've started weighing myself before and after. It goes down when I have a hot bath and it feels ok right now. I notice it a lot though as when I have it it's hard to do up boots but when I haven't got it they go up with ease.
I haven't been diagnosed with anxiety but I have had a few panic attacks in the past but never because public situations. But yesterday I started uni was all fine went to classes and then 4th class with the same people and same teacher I felt horrible. My eye sight went funny I was shaking and sweating and thought I was going to pass out. Luckily I didn't and later on I got cooler and I was fine but was really strange feeling.

Any idea??

I also have extreme shortness of breath from just walking up the stairs and small activities I used to be fine with

Get checked sooner rather than later just in case. Not worth risking it. D
