Possible causes of dyspnea in late pregnancy

🍒Uterine enlargement compresses the lungs

As pregnancy progresses, the enlarged uterus may compress the lungs, restrict the expansion of the chest cavity, and cause dyspnea.

🍒 Excessive amniotic fluid

Excessive amniotic fluid will increase the intrauterine pressure, compress the diaphragm and lungs, and cause dyspnea.

🍒 Placental insufficiency

Placental insufficiency may lead to insufficient oxygen supply, causing dyspnea.

🍒 Hypertensive disorders during pregnancy

Hypertension may cause cerebral vasospasm and ischemia, increased intracranial pressure, and dyspnea.

🍒 Anemia

Anemia can cause insufficient oxygen supply to various tissues and organs of the body, affecting cardiopulmonary function, thereby causing dyspnea.

🍒 Pleurisy

Pleurisy may be caused by infection or other factors. Inflammatory stimulation can lead to the formation of pleural effusion, compressing lung tissue and causing dyspnea.

🍒 Pulmonary embolism

Pulmonary embolism is caused by emboli blocking the pulmonary artery system, which can cause ischemia and hypoxia in the lung tissue and induce dyspnea.

🍒 Pregnancy with heart disease

If the pregnant woman herself suffers from heart disease, the increased burden on the heart in the late pregnancy may cause obvious dyspnea.

Countermeasures and suggestions💪💪

✅ Timely medical treatment: For accurate diagnosis and treatment, you should contact a medical institution for examination as soon as possible.

✅ Oxygen therapy: Oxygen therapy is performed under the guidance of a doctor to improve the state of hypoxia.

✅ Body position adjustment: Take a semi-recumbent position or a head-down-feet-high position to use gravity to reduce the pressure of pulmonary effusion and relieve dyspnea.

✅ Psychological behavioral therapy: Professional psychologists can help pregnant women relax, adjust their mentality, and relieve psychological dyspnea.

✅ Regular prenatal check-ups: Pregnant women should have regular prenatal check-ups to monitor the health of the fetus and themselves.

Precautions ❗❗

Pregnant women with dyspnea in the late pregnancy may affect the health of mother and child, so special attention should be paid.

👩‍⚕️ If the symptoms of dyspnea persist or worsen, medical help should be sought immediately to avoid adverse effects on the mother and fetus.

Pregnant women should maintain a good lifestyle, including a balanced diet, adequate exercise and adequate rest, to reduce the symptoms of dyspnea.
