Im feeling nervous and short of breath. What should I do?
Always seek the evaluation of your healthcare practitioner to make sure you are not experiencing a medical condition. Postpartum panic disorder is a form of anxiety that occurs in up to 11% of new mothers. Symptoms include feeling very nervous, recurrent panic attacks (shortness of breath, chest pain, heart palpitations), and excessive worries and fears. Treatment is available, so if you are having these symptoms, talk to your healthcare provider or a mental health professional.
