Have High Resting Heart Rate. On And Off Breathing. Pregnant. What To Do?

I have high resting heart rate around 80-100. It used to be around 70. I have on and off shortness of breath. Pulse ox is normal at all times around 98-100, or the lowest at 96 at one point. I had chest x-rays, ct chest and ekg in March which were all normal. BMI is around 31. What should I do? I am also 13 weeks pregnanct, but symptoms started well before pregnancy in March.
