Braxton hicks, not being able to breath, anyone else?

Samantha • 1st pregnancy, scared, but ready
All I've heard about Braxton hicks and contractions is that it feels like menstrual cramps down below.. well I get this massive pressure up at the top of my stomach and in my lungs. It feels as though someone is squishing my chest and abdomen. Is that Braxton hicks?
