What Causes Breathing Problem And Muscular Pain During Pregnancy?
Hello Doctor, I am 15 weeks 5 days pregnant now and experience difficulty in breathing at times, mostly during night time. Also, I experience pain or sort of muscular pain in my left leg, towards the left side of my thigh. At times, when I get up from bed after rest, I find it difficult to balance myself due to pain in the leg. Kindly educate me on this.

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the difficulty in breathing especially at night needs a physical examination to rule out any respiratory or heart related problems.Also low Hb is also one of the causes so ruling oit anaemia is also needed.Nothing to worry.Avoid spicy and oily diet.Take antacids because sometimes the acidity also might present with similar complaints.Dont lie down immediately after dinner.Finish ghe dinner 2 hours before sleeping.
The pain in the leg might be due to muscular pain.But if there is any associated swelling and redness then it need to be evaluated otherwiseneed not worry and take panadol if the pain is severe.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
