Yesterday my mare was breathing so heavily in her stable that she was almost snoring. She is 304 days. Should I be worried or is this normal for a mare in last few weeks as foal is taking up so much space?

Was she lieing down? If so, I wouldn’t worry
If she was standing up then I have a few more qs!

Was she struggling to breathe? IE abdominal breathing, making a big effort? As above, did you take her temperature? How is she now?

Yes, making a big effort and sort of dozing. Better this morning. Not sweaty. Will take her temperature in a mo. Thanks for help.
