Patient's question:
I am about 25 weeks pregnant now, and my stomach is already very prominent. I was already quite overweight, and my weight has become uncontrollable since getting pregnant. I don't dare to eat less, but now that it's getting hot, I often feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, which is very uncomfortable, and I can't sleep well at night.What kind of help do I want: How to relieve chest tightness and stuffiness for pregnant women
Doctor's answer:
At 25 weeks of pregnancy, you are experiencing chest tightness and shortness of breath, which may be caused by your slightly overweight body, but the possibility of insufficient blood supply to the heart cannot be ruled out. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to confirm the cause and then receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to strengthening nutrition, avoiding overexertion, maintaining cleanliness in the perineum, changing underwear frequently, and sleeping in a left lateral position to reduce pressure on the fetus.
