Fainting And Cant' Breathing Properly Posted: 06-12-06 18:34pm
So this is about the 4th time it's
happened now. A couple of weeks ago I
was just standing up for about 10 minutes
and I told mum I had to go and sit down
coz I felt faint. Then all of a sudden
my breathing was rapid and felt like I was
choking, I had a temperature, went white
and felt really sick. After about 5
minutes I was fine but still felt funny.
It happened 3 times that weekend and
happened again really badly on the
weekend, mum and dad had to pull over on
the side of the road and get me out of the
car coz it was like I couldnt breathe at
all and I was again about to faint. I
told my doc this and he said its just my
blood pressure from being pregnant. Is
this normal? I'm just a bit worried coz
in a book I have it says if you get rapid
breathing etc go straight to the er.
What do you think?

Fainting is normal in pregnacy, I fainted
a couple of times when I was preg, usually
when I was stressed out and my blood
pressure dropped but I never had breathing
problems. If I was you I would get a
second opinion if you can it doesn't quite
sound right.

Thanks, i'm not to worried about the
fainting becuase I know that does happen.
It's the breathing that's really worrying
me. I literally grab my throat as if
someone's strangling me or i'm choking,
it's really scary. Mum is so worried coz
she thinks it could be harming the baby.

Definatley get a second opinion from
another doctor or go to the hospital and
get it checked out!
Even if it is nothing it will put your
mind to rest. And you don't need to be
stressing out right now. Good luck. Let
us know how it goes.

I kind of had the same thing happen to me
during my pregnancy. I would feel like I
was going to black out, i'd start shaking,
be unable to catch my breath (rapid,
shallow breathing) get unbearably hot and
get a headache. My doc claimed at first
that it was blood pressure and then
claimed that it was stress. I never did
find out what it truly was but it went
away in the third trimester. If I were
you though, I wouldn't just accept the
crappy explanations (i'm sorry that I did,
I may have been able to get rid of it
sooner), i'd keep talking to doctors until
someone could tell me definitely what was
wrong.

yeah, it amazes me that doctors can locate
and kill cancer cells but they can't give
me a reason why I was having those
fainting/dizzy spells...
