Dizziness + Short of Breath= Asthma?

On Friday I went to my first prenatal appt and didn't even get a chance to really get to have it. I walked up to the third floor hoping to not be so late, and when I got up there (being voiceless and all) I was asked if I had asthma. Of course I said no, because duh, never had respiratory issues before.
Well, the nurse noticed I was short of breath and I had a hard time breathing. Well I have been sick for like two weeks. They asked if I could go to L&D, and I said I could just drive myself there. They escorted AJ and I downstairs and then when we got downstairs cause we were also looking for a wheel chair, I about near fainted. The nurse caught me and then I had to go back upstairs and they had to call the ambulance. OMG. They didn't want me driving with AJ and/or just driving myself literally down the street.

So they had me on oxygen and they checked my BP, and my BP was a high. The ambulance came and then AJ had to ride with me with a volunteer from UCD. The Fire Dept was there and everything..Oh mun! It was a little crazy. But AJ had a great time riding the ambulance.
