Heart palpitations and short of breath - 3rd trimester

[JKD1982]

Hi ladies

First time pregnant and having some weird symptoms still. Usually for an hour or so a day I feel like my heart is racing and I can’t catch my breath. It is quite scary as it happens even if I am resting.

I’m trying to do calm breathing and wait for it to pass, but it is hard to not panic. I assume this is a normal pregnancy symptom, but wondered if anyone knows if it can improve through late pregnancy or get worse? I’m 29 + 4

Thanks

Give your midwife a call and describe what you’ve just said here.

Also is there any medication you can take for it?

My midwife only works on Thursdays. I‘ve texted and left messages before

I had this and I was anaemic

Thank you for info. I’ve had my blood test at 28 weeks but not been sent any results yet. I assume if I’m anemic they would call? I’ll chase them up tomorrow. Thank you
