Asthma ?

This pregnancy thing does some weird stuff. Yesterday I was not feeling well- my back hurt really bad and I was sore from work and I was having trouble breathing. I took Tylenol and my back eventually felt better but the breathing issues never went away. So from 8am to 6pm I was having to take deep breaths every time I was breathing and I still didn't feel like I was getting enough air; kinda like my lungs were working hard but just unable to do the job. By 6:00 I was tired and frustrated so I called the doctors office and the on call doctor said to go to the emergency room. I went and it turns out the air sacs at the bottom of my lungs weren't open and accepting air and they gave me a breathing treatment and an inhaler and that was kinda that. I have to use the inhaler so that I can breath but I guess that is fine for now.

But I have no clue why I am suddenly having breathing problems or why I wouldn't have asthma type issues at any point in my life but now I do. I can make an educated guess why but I am not a doctor so I am sure it isn't that easy. Of course I would like to point out that I am not totally retarded- i realize that my lung capacity is shrinking as my body makes room for the growing baby inside of me- but this is not that.

I don't do well with any form of restrictions and restricted space or ability to breath is sooooooooooo not okay in my world. I think I should walk around with a breathing machine to ensure constant full working ability- who wants to pay for it? :)
