After Eating...Do you feel?

MP&MPMP&MP
in 2nd Trimester

Hey ladies!

I was wondering if anyone is having the same issues that I'm having after eating. My heart seems to pound very heavily and I feel like I am breathing less oxygen. Its kinda like shortness of breath but I don't think I am going to past out and I just start feeling very strange. I normally try to relax and sit down or lay down and it passing in 15 to 30 minutes. Is this something I should be worried about? I am about 17 weeks along and I just had my blood work done for the glucose test and passed.

    That doesn't sound right, at least I've never felt anything like that. Are you eatting too much or is this after a normal meal or snack? I think you should talk to your Dr. Good luck!

    Sometimes after I eat, I get so full and kind of have trouble breathing.  Its almost as if I need to yawn to really get some oxygen in.

    i have much difficulty breathing after i eat- i was gonna bring this up w/ my doc at my last appt but forgot~

    i think its just the fact that our uterus is growing and pushing all of our organs up and now the organs are pushing up against the lungs and such- so if we eat, our stomach obviously expands and doesnt leave a lot of room for other organs like our lungs ~ someone posted a link before that showed us where our organs go when we're pregnant - it was pretty fascinating and makes total sense why we would be out of breath..

    i would def talk to ur doc just incase like i am gonna do~ i also have high bp so i am wondering if my symptoms seem to be because of that~ not sure!

    I do feel the heart pounding frequently after eating. Even sometimes when I am just sitting still I feel it. I was actually going to mention something to my doctor next week when I see him. Sorry, I don't know what it could be. Good luck though- I hope everything turns out okay.

    I've been having a shortness of breath lately, too - and now that I think about it, it usually is after lunch.  I haven't noticed my heart pounding, though.
