What to do if you are 32 weeks pregnant and have difficulty breathing and chest tightness

Difficulty in breathing and chest tightness during 32 weeks of pregnancy may be a normal physiological phenomenon caused by pregnancy, which can usually be relieved by lying on the left side and proper exercise. It may also be related to coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy and other organic cardiac lesions, in which case it is necessary to go to the hospital in time for examination and consultation, and choose the appropriate treatment program under the guidance of the doctor.
At 32 weeks of pregnancy, due to the enlargement of the uterus, it will compress the lungs and heart, which will lead to the symptoms of dyspnea and chest tightness. At the same time, the increase in blood flow will lead to a heavier burden on the heart, and the above symptoms will also occur. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and can be improved by proper exercise and adopting left side bed rest.

Because of the special physical condition of pregnant women, extra attention must be paid. If the symptoms are serious, you must go to the hospital in time to avoid affecting the pregnant woman and the fetus.
