What Causes Severe Pain In Chest, Arm, Head, Jaw And Nausea After An IUD?

The medical conditions are not likely to affect the unborn child.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I understand that you have a number of medical complications but that does not make your life miserable. While you need to deal with the pain or the processes to deal with the pain, it is a matter of your orientation towards your life. And I am sure that there is significant room for positivity.
Coming to the matter of your pregnancy, if you have the IUD still in place, it is likely to disrupt the continuation of the pregnancy. So, you still can decide whether you want to continue your pregnancy and if that is the case, I would insist you to get the IUD removed. The spinal condition and the other mentioned issues are unlikely to complicate or adversely affect the unborn child. However, since you are an elderly female (above 35 years of age), the probability of chromosomal abnormalities (like Down syndrome) increases but that too can be detected early in pregnancy (after a certain duration) and if the results indicate, you can decide to abort at that point of time. But there is a significant possibility that you would get a normal healthy baby as an outcome of this pregnancy. So, you need decide to abort as of now. Decide to abort only if the results indicate something wrong.
That is what I would suggest.

Paracetamol is safe and will help in controlling your pain.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back and for clarifying.
Diazepam has been assigned to pregnancy category D by the FDA. It has been suggested that there is an increased risk of congenital malformations and other developmental abnormalities associated with the use of benzodiazepine drugs. There may be nonteratogenic risks associated with the use of benzodiazepines during pregnancy. Hence, diazepam needs to be discontinued. However, there are other safe pain medicines like paracetamol (to be taken 1g per dose) as and when required, with a maximum of 4g per day.
Feel free to write back in case of further queries.
