Feeling like I'm suffocating!

I feel like this a lot lately, well for the past couple months but increasingly so lately. Same thing happened last time too but it was fall when I was this far along so not so hot. I have a fan at my desk to keep the air moving around me but it seems no matter what I do, I feel like I can't breath! This also makes me feel thirsty (which I do anyways) and I wonder if there's any correlation. Anyone else feeling this and do you have any tips that help you???

    In prenatal yoga, we do a great stretch that helps open the chest and allow breathing. You basically lay on your back with your head/neck/shoulders slightly elevated (on a pillow or cushion or something) and then place something like a rolled blanket or towel under your spine going lengthwise. So your shoulders kind of droop down and open up the chest and lungs. Just close your eyes and breath deeply. (Granted, it's tough to do if you're at work but maybe doing it a little bit in the morning and evening will help release whatever tightness is happening ...)
