Hello there I’m not new to this forum I just forgot my old email and password to my other account. As some of u might know I have/had severe anxiety in the past and have been horrified with the thought of blood clots in lungs or heart problems in the past.. mind u I’m a 20 yr old female fairly good in weight. I’ve had bad anxiety in the past and I’m currently 6 months pregnant and I’ve been experiencing shortness of breath and fatigue lately .. I’m scared thinking it’s a pulmonary embolism again 😕 I’ve had the shortness of breath for months now. Maybe before I was pregnant but recently has gotten worse idk if I’m just being paranoid or if something is wrong 😕 help me!!!

    Hello

    To be honest I find it hard to tell but I've been to hospital loads of times thinking I've got another clot and it's turned out to be anxiety. I try and run tests in my head see if it stops when I sit down is it constant does it get worse when I do exercise. I normally go for a run and see what happens. Might be hard for you tho. When I first wake up in the morning I normally find my breathing is ok but when I get up and move about it starts. I hope this helps take care
