17weeks and bad chest pain?
Answer:
Doesnt sound like its anything to do with your pregnancy unless its indigestion/heartburn which is common.
It sounds more like a chest infection which would need treatment, see a doc.
I think you should go see your GP. It could be any one of a number of things. The point however is to rule out anything serious, particularly as you're pregnant.
Hope you feel better soon.
Oh, and good luck with the pregnancy! :-)
I think you should see your doctor as soon as possible just to get it checked out and give you piece of mind. It is probably nothing, but get it checked out hon, just in case. Have a great day.
You need to get this checked asap with your dr -could be a range of things
your heart works upto 40% harder and grows when you have a baby. go to the doc.
Could be indigestion or heartburn, but it could also just be trapped wind.
During my first pregnancy my mother thought I was going into labour because of the pains I was having. It turned out to be just wind.
I would check with your doc though just to be on the safe side. Any thing your not sure of during this time should be referred to your doc.
If it came on over hours/a day or two, particularly if it started with a headcold, it is likely to be a simple infection.
If you have asthma, it could be an exacerbation of asthma.
If it came on suddenly, particularly if you have had a sore leg in the last few days, it could be something more serious like a pulmonary embolus from a deep vein thrombosis.
If it is a PE from a DVT then there is good treatment available for that, but it is a matter of urgency to see a doctor and get treatment.
There are loads of other things it could be, like a pneumothorax, which is where air gets in between your lung and lung lining causing the lung to shrink.
You should definately see your GP very soon. If it came on suddenly, you must make sure you see a GP today.
i dont think anyone on the Internet would be sure or could give you an answer
please see your doctor esp if your pregnant
just to be sure
good luck love and peace
severe heartburn can give off chest pain, also baby sticking foot up under ribs intermittently, chest pain should always be checked out though so tell your doctor next prenatal check up.
Wouldn't be surprised if you were carrying a son.
Don't know the technical word for it but maybe you have a problem with your lungs, The lungs are sealed together and in side the lungs are pockets of air, these pockets may explode at any time causing the seal to break apart which forces air in to the chest and ribs, this causes you to breathe very heavily and can be very painful. Also there is another way of finding out is by lying down on your side and after you can feel frequent bubbles popping and moving up your chest, you should get this checked out because surgery maybe needed in some cases as this happens to me quiet often hope this helP's you a little and good luck ps the best result in staying away from the pain is lying in bed and not moving the last time i had this i stayed in bed for 2 months, good luck once again
With being pregant I would contact your doctor.
If your chest is that tight you might want to consider visiting the ER to make sure everything is ok. It could be just the baby, but it might be something more serious. It is deffinately something you should talk to your doctor about.
I know I have asthma and my chest can get tight. One thing that does help me on those nights is actually getting a beanbag chair and placing it on the bed. I put a pillow under my head (that way I dont hear the little beads inside it scraping if I shift) and sleep in a sit up position. It does help me sleep better.
With you only being 17 weeks along it is to early to feel all that movement like the kick in the ribs that can leave you breathless. Unless you are farther along than you stated.
Yes it could also be heartburn that can cause these reactions. I know I had terrible problems with that with my son. Did not have morning sickness with him, but did have heartburn.
You ddi not mention if you have a cold of any sort. That also can affect your breathing. There is just to many things that it might be and we are not medical advisors.
My advice to you is just GO TO YOUR DOCTOR only he/she can tell you if it is something more serious. Please post what the doctor said so we will all know you and baby are ok.
This sounds like either pneumonia or a pulmonary embolism. I would seek medical advice immediately.
When your doctor, repeat doctor, has ruled out all likely explanations, it is worth considering whether the rib-cage has shifted out of position.
