Chest Pain

Has anyone else had chest pain? I feel like someone is sitting on my sternum. My online research has basically said to sit with my arms above my head to relieve pressure. Any other suggestions?

Re: Chest Pain

  • I've had pain at the top of my ribs. It is my uterus pushing up on them plus gas. Doesn't make it feel any better though. I'm most comfortable leaning straight back in our La-Z-Boy. Only a few weeks left!

  • If you are wearing a bra, a belly band, or anything else... TAKE IT OFF. 

     I HATE being braless, but I swear I can breathe better and my chest feels so much better.

  • I agree about taking off your bra - my bra these days adds so much pressure around my ribs.  I also had wicked bad pressure the other day - turned out to be gas - I just keep sort of pushing down up my belly and sitting with my arms up over my head, or trying to change sitting positions and the gas eventually found its way out.  But it was painful and extremely uncomfortable.  Good luck!
