32 weeks pregnant chest pain and..?
Trust me girl when I say that everything you are going through is normal. I have been pregnant 3 times, and every time was different. Your body will go through so many changes, you'll hurt in places you didn't even know existed, you'll ache, and you'll be plum wore out, tired, and fatigued. If this is your first baby, more than likely you will go past your due date. But if this your second, or more, you could very well be up to 2 to 3 weeks early. But all your pains are normal. The baby is moving around getting into position to be born. And you will have pains in your chest, legs, back, stomach, and where ever else God could possibly think of. But please don't stress. Because when you stress, the baby is stressed, and that's not healthy. The only time I would worry, is if you were to start to bleed. And if you don't find comfort in the answers you receive here, call your doctor.....let them know whats on your mind. They will ease your tensions, and then you can enjoy the last 5 to 7 weeks of pregnancy, because after that, it's alot of sleepless nights! lol.
Severe Chest pain like 3 times a week?
im not certain on your family's wealth but im sure your parents would rather you go see a doctor and spend some money finding out whats wrong with you and getting professional help. rather than you dying because you didn't tell them anything. PS: im not saying your gonna die... but its better to be safe than sorry PSS: have you changed your diet since this has happened, because a sudden increase in fatty foods and salt intakes can have an effect. PSSS: (lol at SSS's ) i suggest changing your diet, but not too dramatically just eat less fatty foods and have fruit or something similar for a light snack if you feel hungry in between meals
Chest pain for over 3 hours?
If the pain feels very strong/sharp as if someone if sitting on your chest. Then it can be a major cardiac problem. You will want to go to the ER to have a 12-lead EKG done and also draw some blood to check on your cardiac biomarkers to see if they indicate any cardiac damage. But, if it is intermittent and not causing major symptoms, it can possibly be palpitations. Stress and anxiety can typically cause these things. If you are not feeling the major symptoms, I would suggest taking an aspirin and mentioning the palpitations to your family physician. And try to relax. Increased tension poses more problems for your heart.
Shoulder / Chest pain ??
It depends on how old you are, if your fat or thin but I'd say if your on the heavy side maybe its cuz to sleep on shoulder would be too much weight you might need to shift from laying on shoulder to laying on back, or if its cuz your over 50 it may be that you have angina or some kind of heart condition, you need to be seen my your primary doctor, if the pain is above a 5 on a pain chart and 10 being the highest if you feel the pain is at least a 5 or more then yeah go to the ER. If you notice that your weezing in the morning then maybe its asthma or maybe something much worse! Its possible that you could need to see a chiropractor your rib or some kind of vertebrae might be out of alignment either way you'll need to get xrays to figure it out so just go to the Doctor, anykind of unexplained pain that lasts longer than a week needs to be looked at!
Chest pains every day at the same time?
The only thing you can do is Go to the Urgent care part of your local medical center. Also go and see the person in the financial department. If you are not making a lot of money, you will be able to get services at a lower rate. Their is no way to know what may be going on without getting an examination, x ray and scope done. Depending on your age and family history it may be heart related or it may be something involving your lungs, ribs, esophagus, muscles or nerves. It could simply be esophageal spams from gerd but that is still a guess. Better to be safe than sorry and you can make interest free low payments. The only thing that is really concerning is the term sharp pain. When to Contact a Medical Professional Call 911 if: You have sudden crushing, squeezing, tightening, or pressure in your chest. Pain radiates to your jaw, left arm, or between your shoulder blades. You have nausea, dizziness, sweating, a racing heart, or shortness of breath. You know you have angina and your chest discomfort is suddenly more intense, brought on by lighter activity, or lasts longer than usual. Your angina symptoms occur at rest. You have sudden sharp chest pain with shortness of breath, especially after a long trip, a stretch of bedrest (for example, following an operation), or other lack of movement that can lead to a blood clot in your leg. Know that your risk of heart attack is greater if you have a family history of heart disease, you smoke,use cocaine, are overweight, or you have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes.
