In early pregnancy, many women may experience physical discomfort such as dizziness, fatigue, loss of appetite, etc. These symptoms are more obvious in the early stages and gradually improve after 12 weeks. However, some women may also feel chest tightness and shortness of breath in late pregnancy. So, what is the reason for palpitations, shortness of breath, and dizziness in late pregnancy?
Late pregnancy palpitations, shortness of breath, and dizziness may be caused by an increase in hormones, and women need more oxygen supply during pregnancy, which can easily lead to shortness of breath. Women may feel that breathing is very difficult, especially in cases of multiple pregnancies, which can be more pronounced.
Furthermore, for women who experience rapid weight gain or suffer from anemia, they may also feel an increase in heart rate and shortness of breath. As the fetus grows and develops, the female body's blood volume increases, and the cardiac load also increases. Women can go to the hospital for examination to rule out pregnancy related complications. If there are no other special circumstances, it is a normal phenomenon.
In daily life, women should be careful and cautious. When engaging in activities or sports, they should not force themselves too much and maintain moderation. At the same time, they should keep their upper body straight and their shoulders extended backwards to allow their lungs to expand. When sleeping at night, they should use pillows to support themselves. In terms of diet, they should not overeat and should adhere to eating small meals frequently, which can alleviate symptoms.
