Question

I'm 18 weeks pregnant now and I'm having really bad chest pains . feels like my chest is being squashed . is this normal or is this something to worry about ?

Answer 1

if it's feel like a chest cramp near the upper part/towards the shoulder...it's gas. try a gas reliever it will help a lot!

Answer 2

Any chest pain is something to worry about.  Get to a doctor!  Now!

Answer 3

You need to go to your doctor, I was having chest pains and had to go to a cardiologist but I'm still waiting on the results

Answer 4

Most likely heartburn.  However, best to have a doctor check you out!

Answer 5

No, I don't believe that is normal at all.  Are you sure you aren't confusing it with heartburn?  If it truly is chest pains, then you need to go to call your doctor - their office should have an emergency number to call or a way to page the doctor on call.  If it is causing you to have trouble breathing, get to the ER right away.

Answer 6

Double check with your doctor. It could be heartburn but than again it could be something more serious.

Answer 7

its heartburn, i heard it was normal

Answer 8

If you're having trouble breathing along with the pain, call 911.  Try raising your hands over your head, if you can't do it, also call 911.
