I can't catch my breath

I just found out I am 5 weeks pregnant.  In 4 days I will be six weeks.   Is it normal at this time not to be able to catch your breath at times.  I have high blood pressure.  So I am at high risk until I finally see my Ob on Monday.  My medical doctor switched my bp meds and said as light duty as possible at work...  I feel fine other than this and being exhausted.

I'm 22 weeks Sunday and I still get like that sometimes, if im at work and getting out of breath and someone needs something from me no one has a problems waiting while i feel im ready.  With laundry My boyfriend carries it to the places it needs to be.  It is a lot better now and in my first trimester i was so tried that that took effect on it to! That was really my only symptom..

I was like that too - bringing up laundry from the basement to the bedrooms was extremely tiring. I am not overweight and somewhat active too so this has not been pleasant to me. I think it gets better but don't fight it - listen to your body :)
