Consult immediately

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
If the breathlessness has appeared suddenly and was not there earlier in Pregnancy, then you should consult your OBGYN specialist immediately to rule out any cardiac ailment, lung pathology etc.
