i've been having trouble breathing lately. my nasal passage is so congested it's not good at all. if you recall, in one of my earlier posts, stuffed nose is one of the lesser known "effects" of pregnancy. this is all caused by hormones which make the nasal passage narrower. oh joy. i get to breathe through my mouth. even the nasal spray that my doc prescribed does not help at all (but then again, she prescribed a low dosage for me because of the pregnancy). well, i can only pray and hope it goes away real soon.
another thing i'm struggling with is reflux. it gets so bad sometimes it's scary. even when i'm just sitting down and resting, i feel my heart racing and i can't seem to breathe at all (i guess this is compounded by my stuffed nose). i will feel like i'm fighting for air. and it just seems to come and go whenever it feels like it, whether i'm out and about or just resting.
so there you go: MY joys of pregnancy...............
