Im 20 weeks pregnant and for the past week my throat feels like iys closing. i can't sleep or sit comfortably. ?

Hormonal or weight: At 20 weeks, you may have gained some weight but probably not enough to cause these symptoms. Hormonal changes can also cause this. I would get examined by your doctor to make sure nothing is obstructing your breathing such as enlarged tonsils.
