XP: Chest Pain

mrsnalamrsnala member
in 2nd Trimester
I am having some chest pain today. I woke up in the middle of the night with some severe acid reflux. I have acid reflux in the first place (pre-pregnancy) and this felt different, I felt like I could feel my entire chest. Now this morning, anytime i breath heavy or eat/swallow, I have a sharp chest pain. I wonder if this is from the acid, or maybe just a strain on my ribs from all the changes. Would you call the doctor and see if it goes away?

    It sounds like just a fun case of reflux to me, or it could even be a strained muscle in your chest. There are a lot of possibilities for this. If you're worried, call the doctor, but if it were me, I'd probably munch on some Tums and take it easy. If it got worse or persisted to the point of discomfort, I'd call the doctor for reassurance.

    I'm of the school of thought: don't screw around with chest pain.

    If you're having any other symptoms, call 9-1-1.

    I strained a muscle in my chest after picking up my daughter the other day and I could only feel it when I took a deep breath.  It lasted about a day and a half.  But I agree if you're concerned, check with your Dr.
