Hey I'm 23wks and I just had a racing heart and shortness of breath out of no were. I wasnt sure if it was a panic attack or if its was because I was lying on my back and got up too quick,but that was very scary I thought I was having a heart attack or asthma attack but I dont have asthma,and since its Saturday my doctor isnt in. I dont want to go to the ER if this is normal. Please if anybody can give me some reassurance that would be great.

How did it work out? There are plenty of posts saying this is not unusual in pregnancy, but it would certainly be a good idea to communicate it with the doctor's office when it is next open. Good luck!

Not sure if you have gotten this taken care of, but I am 35 weeks pregnant and a few months ago I had these symptoms along with feeling very, very weak and they told me that I was anemic. Maybe just get a blood test to make sure and if you are, you just take an Iron Supplement.
