Scared......

This morning was the second time I had this sharp chest pain that stopped me in my tracks. I've had these before, but they usually only happen once a month or less, and this is the second time over the weekend. This time I couldn't take any large deep breaths without out it being sharp and stopping my inhale of breaths. It feels like a stabbing sharp pain at first ..out of nowhere, and then after that when I try and breathe again it does it slightly.

What should I do?

I don't want to be a worry wart and be one of those people who call their OB every little symptom?

    Silly as it sounds it could be gas.  I sometimes get a shooting pain in my ribcage and it is stabbing when I breath in and out.  It could also be anxiety.  Hopefully it is nothing but I would call your primary doctor if it persists.  GL

    Ive had this before... its not a pregnancy symptom.  What I had was called a "pleural effusion".  Everytime I took a deep breath, it felt like I was being stabbed in the chest. Scared me so bad one day, I dropped everything at work and went to the hospital.  I thought I was having a heart attack at 22 yrs old! They did an EKG, and my heart was fine. Turns out, it was because of an infection (I worked with children, so I probably caught one of they're colds) They gave me antibiotics and I was back at work the next day.

     I know it can be really scary, so at least get checked out so you can know exactly what it is.  Especially since your preggo.

    Hope this helps! :)

    Thanks Ladies! I think I was just overreacting... I looked it up online (lol) and found what seems to be pericardial catch syndrome. Like a bubble that intesifies with breathing. I will watch it still and let my doctor know about it also!
