Patient's question:
Pregnant for seven months, currently experiencing chest tightness and shortness of breath intermittently.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your current condition is due to the increase in gestational weeks, leading to the elevation of the uterus, lifting the diaphragm, and shifting the heart to the left, upward, and forward position. This can also affect your mother's cardiovascular system, with an increase in cardiac blood flow and flow velocity. The reason for your chest tightness is also due to the increased anteroposterior diameter of the thoracic cage caused by the elevation of the uterus, and the oxygen consumption of pregnant women also increases. Generally, doctors recommend that patients with signs of the risk of eugenics should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid coldness. Additionally, patients should also create an environment that is conducive to emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
