Muscle weakness in third trimester

I am having sudden weakness in my arms almost like a burning from muscle exhaustion which is accompanied by a dizziness.  It is to the point where I cant even lift my arms sometimes.  My heart also flutters at times and feels like i tis going to beat through my chest.

I was in hospital 3 weeks ago with a possible pulmonary embolism but no clot was found.  However, I do have that elevated clotting factor but that could just be due to pregnancy.  I am also out of breath a lot.

I am scheduled for surgery July 1 but my due date is actually July 8.

I wish I could help but I really don't know.  Sounds like you have some issues though and I would def talk to your doctor about how you are feeling.  Good luck.  It sounds scary.
