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 He is also one of the causes so ruling OIT anemia is also needed. Nothing to worry. Avoid spicy and oily diet. Take antacids because sometimes the acidity also might present with similar complaints.Don't lie down immediately after dinner. Finish the 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 needs to be evaluated otherwise need not worry and take paradox if the pain is severe. Best regards...
