Hello!
I've very recently experienced what I can only describe as "forgetting how to breath". It's really strange as I will suddenly just not take a breath in and suddenly feel panicked and short of breath. This is often accompanied by a need to burp to alleviate this feeling. With this in mind, I have had an increase in phlegm and post nasal drip in the past week which has led me to feel quite congested.
I am seeing my obstetrician next week and will discuss it then too but I am a bit worried about it.
I do experience some discomfort when doing a deep inhale (feels like it hurts my lungs a little) but nothing significant. I also can cough up phlegm (clear phlegm) which I feel can also help with some of the shortness of breath but it's confusing me and scaring me that I suddenly feel like I can't remember how to breathe and feel really puffed out!
