My wife is pregnant, 27 weeks running. Since last one week, she is having episodes of elevated heart rate and slight difficultly to breathe. Is this normal or should we consult a gynae?

Elevated heart rate is normal in pregnancy. But if that causes palpitation or difficulty in breathe, it needs medical attention. We have to rule out serious diseases. If serious diseases are not there, we can be sure that it is normal feature of pregnancy.
