chest pain?

[crossedfinger]

Today I woke up at 4 a.m. with sharp pains (not too painful, but still bothersome) on the left side of my chest. They were worse if I was lying down; if I sat up in bed, the pain lessened. I also had some tightness on both sides of my chest.

At 12 noon, I finally went to the ER and got checked out. The EKG was fine. They couldn't really tell me anything else because they'd have to take xrays, which I turned down because I'm pregnant. Plus, I think that perhaps I'm just panicking and it's anxiety that's causing the pain.

Just wondering...does anyone else have chest pain this early in pregnancy? If so, what did docs tell you it was?

If they looked at your heart and said there wasn't anything worrisome there, accept that it is most likely anxiety. I say this because before this pregnancy I spent multiple nights and mornings in the ER with sharp chest pains (and multiple other varying symptoms).

I now have my anxiety under control and don't have those anymore! The best immediate thing is deep breaths (5 seconds inhale, 3-5 second hold, 5 second exhale). And keep doing it until you feel better.
