Shortness of Breath

Anyone else have a lot of shortness of breath throughout their pregnancy? It doesn't take much exertion. Sometimes it even happens when I'm resting. I'm retaining a lot of fluid. I've increased my iron intake which helped initially but the breathlessness only seems to get worse.

I'm trying to find a way to get it under control but I don't know how. I've even had an echocardiogram and it was fine. My blood pressures are fine. I'm currently scouring the net for ideas.
