A member asked:

I have feelings of breathlessness. no other symptoms. however i am 5 and a half months pregnant. i have not been out of rsa or in contact with anyone covid19 positive person. could it just be due to the pregnancy that i have feelings of breathlessnes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be pregnancy: Shortness of breath is common in the second trimester of pregnancy. Possibly your pregnancy is simply making your heart work harder than usual. But you should watch for wheezing, ankle or leg swelling or tenderness, discoloration in fingers or toes, lightheadedness, skipping in your heartbeats, coughing, and/or chest pain. If your shortness of breath is worsening, you should speak to a doctor.
