Patient's question:
I am six months pregnant and sometimes feel a bit chesty at noon and in the evening, with slightly difficult breathing. Everything else is normal. My colleagues say they breathe in an hour of oxygen every day during pregnancy, and the fetal movements are a bit stronger when they do so, indicating that oxygen is beneficial for the fetus. I think pregnant women should maintain a natural mindset. If they feel fine, there is no need to consider themselves patients, and thus no need to breathe in oxygen. Doctor, do you think it's necessary for me to breathe in oxygen every day?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to adjust your emotions in real-time. If necessary, it is advised to visit the hospital for a check-up. Pay attention to doing well in pregnancy health care. Difficulty breathing refers to whether it occurs after slight exercise or during rest. If you find that you cannot inhale while breathing, only exhale without inhale, or if your breathing is very fast, it may be due to heart disease or respiratory system diseases. If difficulty breathing suddenly occurs while eating, it may be due to choking, and first aid should be administered, otherwise the patient risks not receiving oxygen supply.
