Hi there. This is definitely concerning. The symptoms you are describing could definitely be related to asthma. They could also be caused by your heart. You are definitely a little higher risk than the average pregnant woman, and you could need some intense treatment up to an including delivery. The symptoms you describe sound more like a heart problem. However, I'm not sure if this is how you previously felt when you got asthma. I urge you to go get evaluated. Good luck!
