What Causes Restless Legs, Dizziness And Loss Of Breath During Pregnancy?

Hi, I am 33 weeks pregnant and I have had restless legs for a while. Now, I also feel so jittery and feel like I get tired, loose my breath, and get a little dizzy easily. I feel a constant pressure in my chest and the jittery feeling is driving me nuts.

hi these are all normal symptoms in pregnancy . the breathlessness is because the gravid uterus pushes the diaphragm up and reduces the lung space.this is also responsible for pressure in the chest. restless legs can be because gravid uterus presses on the lymphatics of lower limbs causing restless legs and even swelling in some cases . all the best don't worry .
