Breathing difficulty at 11.5 weeks
Hi, I have been facing breathing difficulty that comes and goes. Earlier at around 6-7 weeks pregnancy i had breathing trouble where i was putting too much effort to get sufficient breath even at resting stage too. It went away and now returned again at 11.5 weeks.
I have no history of Asthma or breathing/lung problem earlier and Hb is also above 12. BP is around 104/77. Kindly suggest if this is concerning and any tips to resolve?

You can test your Oxygen saturation with a pulse oxymeter
If oxygen saturation is less than 97 then do a ultrasound lung or chest X-ray with abdominal shield after 20 weeks
Otherwise you can do an MRI lungs which is safe in pregnancy
Next Steps
Do breathing exercises and Swiss ball every day
Incentive spirometeric exercises
Take 3 oranges daily
Take a boiled egg daily
