can anyone give any advise

When my anxiety gets real bad I feel like my chest if swelling and I feel trapped. It makes me very angry to the point where I cry. Can anyone help me out with this?

Can I ask if you're in your teens and that's why you're not allowed to leave the house?
If you do have to stay indoors try walking around to get rid of the adrenaline when you're having anxiety.
Can you talk to your parents about this? It would really be good if you could get in to therapy.
You're pregnant and must have an OBG Dr. Talk to him/her about this to see if they can be of any help.

You really should talk to your Dr about how you're feeling. He/she can most likely recommend a good therapist.

I have not been diagnosed by a doctor but it runs in the family and the people in my family that have it and my friend that has it said that I have anxiety since they know what`s going on with me somewhat I am not in therapy and since I'm 3~4 months pregnant I'm not even going to consider medication. When I get this feeling I can't walk because I'm not allowed to leave my house so I clean

I know the trapped feeling you're describing. Have you been diagnosed with anxiety and if so are you in therapy? It really can do wonders for anxiety.
When I've had panic attacks it sometimes helps me to walk. Maybe because it gets rid of the adrenaline. Even if you get up and walk around your room or the house. You might want to give it a try. I also breathe deeply while walking and that sometimes helps.
