Is Chest Pain On The Left And Upper Abdominal Pain Normal During Pregnancy?
I am 19 weeks pregnant , am feeling severe sharp pains deep in left side of chest. Along with nerve pinches in my left shoulder . Left side of chest feels very heavy and I began to get dull stomach pain in the center upper abdomen. Is this normal? What could it be ? Should I see a doctor ?
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic forum. I understand your concerns. Some degree of pain in abdomen and chest is normal due to uterus growth, but if this is associated with breathing difficulties or dizziness then you need to see doctor as soon as possible since it may be some specific lung issue such as pneumothorax. If fever occur or pain in abdomen become constant then yoiu should see doctor as well and dont take any painkileers or medications without consultation with your doctor. try to have easier diet and avoid excessive physical activity. I hope I have answered your query. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
