I need help...for a friend of mine,?

I'm not a doctor and by all means, I hope she's getting some medical attention.

However, it all sounds to me that she is having those anxiety attacks and need to learn to relax. She also need to talk what ever is bothering her out.

Be the good friend and listen to her vent. What ever fear, happiness....emotions that she's rolling through...she might also need a change of scenery to get her to open up.

Best of luck to her.

I'd have to agree with other answers that those are the symptoms of anxiety attacks. The fact that she's pregnant may make it difficult to take some of the medications...so have her try writing down everything she can think of that she finds relaxing---when she has one of these episodes, try some of the ideas that she's written down. deep breathing is good for calming a person. Also taking a small brown paper bag and breathing into it also helps...gotta crumple the end like you're going to blow it up (like a balloon)...breath in and out in it a few times. Also finding the sources that trip the anxiety could help her in reducing it. Retraining herself to have a different reaction to something that may upset her. Anyhow, good luck to her! You're a good friend for trying to find her help!

That pretty much describes anxiety attacks.

If she never had these symptoms before pregnancy it could be a hormonal change in her body inducing the symptoms.

anxiety attack just as you stated :) Tell her try not to get worked up. take a long bath or do something she likes that is relaxing

perhaps she has an anxiety disorder? she should go to her obstetrician and ask them about it.
