I have had migraines since i was around 12ish years old. Luckily though i only experience maybe 2-3 a year and they would always be months apart.
With my daughter i don't remember having one migraine throughout the whole pregnancy, although remember having one about two weeks after she was born.
This time around i have had 4 since i found out i was pregnant, two being within the last week. However they ain't as severe i don't seem to get the sickness feeling, all i get is the visual disturbance, which warns me one is coming on and then a really heavy sore head and sensitive eyes.
What worries me is i have been feeling really out of breath on just resting and sometimes feel like my heart is beating out my chest, when i am doing nothing! When i get into bed i feel like i really need to struggle to catch my breath. I have mentioned this a few times to midwifes/dr's and they check my pulse and BP and they always say it ok.
Reading up on it i found that migraine can also suggest a problem with the cardiovasular system, this is what is worrying me, because i have had 4 since i was pregnant which is more than i ever get in a year. I have an appointment with my consultant next monday so i am planning on telling him my fears and see what he thinks.
I was just wondering if anyone else with migraines feels like this or perhaps had more migraines with different symptoms and if so did you tell the consultant / dr and what did they say?
I know i will be ok, but i have just felt that ill throughout this pregnancy (SPD is a main factor) and the fact i cant walk the length of myself without feeling totally knackered makes me feel there is something else wrong... total pessimist i know. Any comments most welcome!
