33 wks hot, annoyed and claustrophobic!!

[Madisonsmom1]

Over the past week I've felt like I'm breathing through a straw and very claustrophobic which makes me feel like I'm on fire and I get really annoyed and panicky about it. My bf says i think to hard about it and get myself worked up which makes it worse but idk how to cope with feeling like this. Its worse at night so I'm losing so much sleep and even with a fan on and the windows open i feel so hot which makes the breathing issue worse. Any suggestions?

My doctor said it was safe to take rescue remedy. It is an all natural anxiety reliever. It may be worth a try if your doctor is ok with it.

I just assumed it was the baby pushing on my lungs but i think by now he's dropped. Thank you ladies i have an apt with my dr on monday I'll talk to her about it

I also have panic attacks. It sound like that is what your going through. Your bf is right. Staying calm is best but it is so much easier said than done. You may want to talk to your doctor about it.

It's possible that part of your breathing issues are due to feeling panicky. I have panic attacks and the feeling like I'm breathing through a straw is a very common symptom.
