May be allergies: If chest x-rays and work-ups have been negative for any respiratory problems when may have an allergy that is noted at the time of pregnancy. If you have no asthma or allergies you might try something a simple as Benadryl (diphenhydramine) at night to rest and something similar during the day. Be aware that Benadryl (diphenhydramine) can cause you to be sleepy so you may not want to use this if you are driving.
