Hi
I have gone through your complaints.
You are 38 wks pregnant and complaining breathlessness, increased heart rate , heart murmur , the possibulities being anemia with heart failure. You are already at term. Please consult gynaecologist.lets go for checking Hb%.if needed echocardiogram.ultrasound abdomen to know baby status.
If hemoglobin is low it requires trasfusion.
