Influencer Kim Ji-young, from ‘Heart Signal 4’, opened up about abnormal symptoms she is experiencing during pregnancy.

On the 20th, a video titled ‘22-23 weeks pregnant, they say it’s the stable period, so why is it harder?’ was released on the YouTube channel ‘Kim Ji-young’. In the video, Kim explained her symptoms, saying, “I’m 22 weeks now, and after I eat, it’s hard to breathe,” and, “My heart feels tight and constrictedshould I call it a bit tingly? My heart?”

She continued, “This feeling is so severe that the amount I eat has been cut in half,” adding, “If I eat a lot, I can’t digest and can’t do anything, and even when I don’t eat much, I have symptoms like arrhythmia where my breathing quickens and my heart rate goes up. It’s so uncomfortable.” She added, “If it continues for a few more days, I plan to visit the hospital.”

Kim sighed, “Just when I felt I was getting used to the second trimester, something new comes along. I’ll probably be like this until I give birth. I’ll probably be like this while raising the baby, too.”

Even so, she said, “I’ve been busy lately with modeling shoots and filming ‘Same Bed, Different Dreams’,” adding, “My stamina has dropped, but I feel proud that I pulled it off. I really enjoy working.”

However, she confided, “What should I do when I get short of breath? I’ve heard it gets worse later on,” adding, “At this rate, I’m really worried about the remaining four months. For the first time since getting pregnant, I felt it was hard.”

She went on, “My morning sickness ended quickly, but this is really tough. I tried to sleep last night but tossed and turned for an hour. I don’t know why this is happening. It seems Pobi (the fetus’s nickname) is growing very well.”

In response, fans poured in with advice. Netizens wrote, “As your belly grows, it presses on your organs and even your lungs; it’s a natural phenomenon. It gets better after you give birth, so don’t worry,” and, “I had arrhythmia-like symptoms around a similar time, and it turned out to be an iron deficiency,” offering tips based on their experiences.
