Overview
Brief 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

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Modified dyspnea Borg scale
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Modified Borg Dyspnea Scale is most commonly used to assess symptoms of breathlessness. It has a range from 0 to 10 (with 0 being no exertion and 10 being maximum effort).
Secondary Outcomes
- Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (mMRC)(4 weeks)
- London chest activity of Daily Living questionnaire (LCADL)(4 weeks)
