Summary

To evaluate the effects of breathing exercises and upper limb endurance exercises in pregnant women presented with physiological dyspnea

Detailed description

Pregnant women undergo various anatomical and physiological changes so that they can cope with the increased physical and metabolic demands of their pregnancies. Cardiovascular, respiratory, haematological, renal, gastrointestinal and endocrine systems undergo important physiological adaptations needed to allow development of the fetus and to allow the mother and fetus to survive the demands of childbirth . On the other hand, dyspnea can be caused by pregnancy complications, thus requiring specific medical treatment. Shortness of breath is common during pregnancy, occurring in 60% to 70% of healthy pregnant women . The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of breathing exercises and upper limb endurance exercises in pregnant women presented with physiological dyspnea

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	breathing exercises	A-breathing exercises: 20 times per hour. While setting down, deep breathing is taken from the nose while mouth is closed, breath holding for at least ten seconds, then slow maximal exhalation for at least 10 seconds. B-Upper Limb Endurance Exercises (low weight and high repetition) : Study participants will be educated to perform upper limb exercises every 4 hours. Three exercises will be repeated 10×3 times with 1 minute rest in between. Breathing exercise and upper limb endurance exercises is explained in the reminder in details
