What Causes Chest And Throat Tightness With Breathing Difficulties During A Pregnancy?

Your 1st trimester can present with some really unexplained symptoms, but the breathlessness could possibly be in relation to the ribcage which moves upwards and outwards in order to accustom itself to the changes taking place and also to allow easier breathing during the later stages of pregnancy. This is absolutely normal and should not be a cause for concern.
Best wishes.
