Thirsty, breathless and headachey... Any ideas?

Lately I have been feeling breathless and thirsty almost constantly and also suffering from bad headaches.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I alleviate these feelings? I drink lots of water, nothing seems to stop the thirst but suggestions for headache cures appreciated! I'm 25+3

I suggest you go and see your midwife or GP and get yourself checked out.

Anaemia perhaps? That would explain the breathlessness, and think maybe the thirst, as im anaemic and i have those things, but not sure about headaches.

My iron levels are good as I have been on iron - Fluxodix (sp?) - and had them tested recently! Will give my midwife a call to be sure then, just wanted to see if it was just a common pregnancy thing like so many things seem to be!

You should see a GP, increased levels of thirst combined with headach can be a symptom of diabetes, although not breathlessness!!
