when does shortness of breath become worrisome?

Mrs.Carlybella

i have been feeling short of breath off and on (and not even after moving- but I felt like this this morning when I woke up)

it is weird- almost like i am sick or smoked a pack of cigarettes in a night (without the cough though, just the rough breathing feeling)

 

so i know shortness of breath is normal- but is it normal even when resting at times?

thanks!

I definatly get this. Mostly at night when I am sleeping, I find myself short of breath, Usually if I switch to the other side, he moves and it goes away quickly.

I'd say its def normal to an extent but if you are truly worried, called your Dr. I ended up with pneumonia in 3rd tri, which started with shortness of breath and a cough. I ended up cracking a rib from coughing. If you think the shortness of breath is beyond your comfort level, call. They may little remedies for you or at least take a listen. A friend of mine was on bed rest due to think, they tested her o2 levels and determined she wasn't getting enough.
