I know what the cause is!! It happens to some pregnant women. Some women produce waaay more progesterone during their pregnancy rhan ithers. For some unexplainable reason, the drastic amount of this progesterone ends up making us feel like we arent producing enough oxygen to carry it through our whole body so it works over time to try and catch up, leaving us feeling like we just ran a marathon and are gasping through a coffee stirrer for breath. Unfortunately my dr told me theres nothing we can do :-/.
