Simultaneous Upper Back pain and Chest Pain

Does anyone else experience this? I feel it mostly when I'm sitting down or laying down but it feels like my muscles in my upper back and chest all of a sudden start cramping. Its really uncomfortable and pretty hard to sleep. I used to think it was heart burn related but now I'm not so sure.

    I experienced these symptoms at the beginning of my third trimester.  It started out feeling heart burn related and progressed to chest pain (like an elephant sitting on my chest) and then I started to have a lot of trouble breathing (not just the normal short of breath).  I was diagnosed with asthma.  The dr said it's not uncommon for hormonal changes (especially at that point in the pregnancy) to cause asthma during pregnancy.

    I experience this too.  I really thought it was heartburn related, but NOTHING would help alleviate it.  So I asked my chiropractor about it and he said that I had some ribs out of whack because of the expanding belly.  He adjusted them and the pain went away!  It's come back a few times, but I get him to adjust it and there is almost immediate relief.
