What to do if you feel chest tightness and shortness of breath during your fourth month of pregnancy

If a pregnant woman experiences chest tightness and shortness of breath when she is four months pregnant, she needs to consult a doctor. She can breathe oxygen to avoid harming the fetus. She can eat small meals frequently and not eat too much, take more walks, and make some adjustments to her sleeping position. It varies from person to person. It is normal for pregnant women to experience such problems. It is recommended to go to the hospital more often to observe the child's condition. Severe shortness of breath may endanger the development of the fetus, so breathe oxygen for half an hour to an hour every day.

The growing fetus causes the diaphragm to rise, which can cause chest tightness and shortness of breath. There is no need to worry or take medication. Just improve your diet and nutrition, pay attention to rest, try to eat small meals frequently, and have regular prenatal checkups.

Usually pay attention to:

1. Eat small meals frequently. If you eat more, your chest tightness may be more severe. If you eat less, you will feel more comfortable.

2. You can often breathe oxygen;

3. If you feel chest tightness, in addition to lying down to rest, you can also go to a place with fresh air and take deep breaths.

1. Poor physical constitution is innate. It is caused by lack of exercise before pregnancy, bad habits, and weak qi and blood. It is recommended to take more walks, otherwise the child will also have a poor physical constitution. It is also recommended to do a routine blood test to see if the anemia is severe. It is recommended to take more rest, take appropriate walks and keep a happy mood. This is because the heart is squeezed by the uterine fundus due to the enlarged uterus, or the fetus presses on the abdominal aorta, affecting venous return, causing insufficient cardiac output and insufficient oxygen supply to the tissues. Usually you can breathe some oxygen.

2. You can have an internal medicine examination of your heart and lungs. As the uterus enlarges, it presses upward on the diaphragm and affects your breathing, causing chest tightness and other discomfort. You can breathe some oxygen every day, generally half an hour to an hour is appropriate. Try to sleep on your left side.

I hope the above can be a reference for everyone. There are many reasons why pregnant women experience chest tightness and shortness of breath. As the uterus grows, it will put a burden on the heart. This is due to the physical condition of the pregnant woman herself. It is recommended to walk more, breathe more fresh air, keep a happy mood, and pay attention to the condition of the fetus. If you feel uncomfortable, seek medical attention as soon as possible. I hope this will be helpful to everyone. Pregnant mothers should pay attention to emotional control.
