Tightness in chest

SunshineShades

Does anyone have on again off again tightness in the chest or minor heart palpitations?
It isn't really something I am concerned about, just curious. I feel like sometimes it corresponds to baby moving. Like when she pushes hard into my stomach my chest feels tighter. I am thinking she is pushing against something?

Yes not often but occasionally I need to just sit down a minute and breathe! Pursed lip breathing helps me when my chest is tight.

Every now and then this happens to me. Sometimes when I'm not sitting all the way upright or am sleeping.

I get that too, but I actually figured out it happened when I had random gas bubbles floating around in there. It's pretty freaky the first few times it happens, right?

could be braxton hicks - i get a tight almost shortness of breath feeling when i get them. 

my belly also tightens a bit.

those of which are normal - as long as theirs no pain or cramping it sounds like BH

I get it too

I get this a bit. I usually just sit up straight, take a few breaths and it goes away.

Felt like this yesterday. I realized it was somewhat heart burn and gas bubbles like PP said.  I was laying down when I felt it so I just sat up and it seemed to help.

I can't speak to the heart palpitations because I occasionally get those without being pregnant (doc says they're ok as long as I note changes, and I know stress and caffeine affects them).

I'm occasionally having upper chest tightness, though. It's right under by bra band, and pulling my bra away to relieve some pressure usually helps. I think I need a bigger bra, though I keep forgetting to add a bra extender.

Whether or not this is your main problem, maybe a bra extender would help?
